Milo comes to stay

Back at the end of April we brought home the very lovely little Milo from a nearby animal shelter.

Milo was friendly and curious from the day we got him. At about 10 months old he was still quite little and extremely cute.

He has been a keen supporter of my recent career change and is happy to help me with any coding problems I get stuck on.

He has very quickly become part of our family and has amassed an impressive array of toys as well as showing his superior taste by his collection of crochet play things.

He is sure to find a comfortable spot in a range of places around the house, now he is getting bigger though he does tend to drape over the edges of things.

Milo loves to be with us and will happily snuggle up when an opportunity arises.

Now four months in to owning Milo and he has us pretty well trained. He rules the house with a calm authority and is always on hand to help with any stray nerf darts (these he loves more than anything… however they have to be kept hidden as Milo shows this love by chewing them vigorously) . He is full of energy and mischief, but most of all he fits in at Tea Towers so well because he is the daftest cat alive.

Fun with the guinea pigs

As it is another damp Manchester Summer day we thought we would have a play with the guinea pigs in the corridor (to prevent them getting under any of the furniture and causing havoc!)
