Fifteen Happy Cats

FIFTEEN BEAUTIFUL CATS
These are our friend/neighbour's fifteen rescue cats, the ones we built the cat run for.
Each cat has his/her own story. Some of the saddest being:
Gimpy was thrown on a fire;
Murphy was almost dead in a Pet Shop window;
Kizzy was doomed to death because he wasn't perfect to breed from;
Prozac had dead kittens inside her;
Some were starving strays, some abused and some were simply unwanted.
The first time we met them was when we were Cats Protection Volunteers and Sylvia had to go into hospital and had no one to look after them.
There were twelve at the time and she wrote us a list of their colours so we knew who was who, and their likes and dislikes. Since then we've got to know and love each cat well, more so since they moved next door and three more joined them.
It costs her a fortune in food and litter but they are her life.
How could anyone not love such beautiful cats ?
