Here's a few words from my grandaughter, Evie, about a very old and wise cat. "Marty, is an old lovable black cat. Fluffy and cute, this dear animal loves being the centre of attention. He is our pet". Well, I'm not sure if Marty would appreciate being described as fluffy and cute, but that's Evie's view! I am sure Marty must be of the astrological sign Aries, he is one of the toughest cats I've ever known. After numerous scrapes and fights throughout his youth and middleage, he is now much mellowed and enjoying his retirement.
