Alisa loved playing with the cat in Normandy and as the other two are still a bit wary about animals we thought it was time to take the plunge. Hugo and Selina both seem very happy with the new arrival. <\/p>\n<p>We found her through Mid Cheshire Animal Welfare. She&#8217;s not a kitten &#8211; she&#8217;s a beautiful young cat &#8211; between 1 and 2 years old. She&#8217;s been with us since the end of August and is pretty settled down now. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/78771328@N00\/2972221668\" title=\"View 'IMG_1424.JPG' on Flickr.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3221\/2972221668_ae4fe3bc5c_s.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1424.JPG\" border=\"0\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>Why the name? Calvados as that&#8217;s the region we were staying. Lamppost as I always had a dream of getting some pure breed cat for showing and exhibiting them under the name of Lamppost. Calvados isn&#8217;t pure breed but she still gets the name. And with a name like Calvados Lamppost, the III adds a little gravitas. She&#8217;s known affectionally as Calvy. She&#8217;d been in the sanctuary since May so when I let her out for the first time in four months she went wild. Here she tackles a tree.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/9210244490645736884-6209578621588885157?l=blog.cottee.org' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>We have a cat.
