Louis Catorze helpfully points out the next window to be opened on the advent calendar.

Writing about our departed pets on the winter solstice wasn’t something I’d planned to do regularly. However, last year a friend contacted me to ask if I’d be doing it again, having done it the previous year, because she would like me to feature her cat. So now, it seems, it has become a permanent feature, and I think it’s a rather nice one. 

Thank you to my friend Carole for the idea. 

Last year only two pets were mentioned, and three the previous year. This year it’s quite a lot more: 

Mischievous Chris.
Handsome Jimi.
Lovable Nelly. (Not a cat but still worthy of a place here.)
Delightful Jasper.
Adorable Tipsy.
Stunning Delilah.
Gorgeous Finnegan.
Regal Amber.
Cheeky Pumpkin.
Elegant Crackers.

Seeing this gallery has made me feel more grateful than ever to still have Louis Catorze; I don’t know how he is still managing to gad about the planet, making the amount of noise that he does (!), at fifteen and a half, yet here we are. And, although he’s a massive pain in the arse, we can’t imagine life without him. 

We hope you have a lovely solstice, either cuddling your furry overlords/ladies or fondly remembering those who are no longer with us.
