We have a new addition to the family! Tamsin and I adopted the above ginger cat from the RSPCA in Rochdale, and he has been finding his feet at home today. He is called Mac (after Macavity the Mystery Cat, of TS Eliot and latterly Andrew Lloyd Webber fame). He only has three legs, and thus he has middle names including Tripod and Reliant Robin.

Right now he is sliding about on the floor in the lounge. It is very exciting. There are lots of cats in the neighbourhood, but none with quite the same number of limbs, so he’ll always be easy to find.
