Cats are everywhere in Cyprus.

We are adopted by a skinny little thing with a very pretty face, soon enough christened Muppet. After a while she's not so skinny any more - tinned cat food, fresh water and lots of fuss give her healthy meat on her bones. And she makes herself at home very quickly. Before we know it, she has advanced from that jumpy moggy by the backdoor to a princess sharing her time comfortably and equally between the cool kitchen floor and Louise's bed.
