Hi there, I read with disappointment your feature on “Aussie Working Cats”.

Today, at my shelter’s open day, I got suitably baked under the clear blue skies of Perth. (I took a photo because it looked so much like a computer screensaver – how geeky is that!) When I came home, I sat on the steps with my secret cat. What’s that you said? I didn’t know […]
