Commercial Cat Interest Sites

Alan Robinson takes lovely photos of all breeds at cat shows around the UK and he took photos of our Champion girl, Ch Chirachai Koko 32/1, featured on our Gallery page. Thanks for allowing us to reproduce Koko's pictures, Alan. Good luck with the new, improved site, Alan.
- Nature's Menu
In the last few years, we stopped feeding dry diets following an expensive experience with Sophie's first litter of kittens that was caused by those very diets. We now feed a natural diet which some find too radical but we have found extremely beneficial and rewarding. Nature's Menu offer a variety of types of natural diet, from the raw diet we feed our cats, kittens and dog on, to natural cooked foods - some in handy pouches or tins and some in freezer packs ready to be defrosted.
