Hello, everybody my name is Marcus. I want to tell you about my life. It all began a very long time ago. I was living a lovely show cats life with my first owner. She and I won lots of lovely rosettes in the local cat shows we went to. I was a very distinguished Lilac Point show cat, of the top order! Of course I think I did all the hard work. Keeping myself spick and span. Then it all changed.

One day my owner told me she had to go away to another country. Unfortunately I was not going to be able to go with her. I was six years and not a kitten any more! She was so sad at having to leave me behind. This man came to visit to see if I would like to live with him. My owner did not seem very happy with this. He kept phoning up and she kept saying NO. Then a different man phoned up. Oh no I thought but little did I know that he was to be my new owner.

Well when he arrived he had the two most adorable children, a boy and a girl. I tried to stay aloof but they seemed quite smitten with me. Apparently they had had another Siamese cat called Honey and really missed her. From then on I became a family cat. Off we went in a strange car to a place called Ashtead. The house had a great big back garden and a huge common for me to explore. Well I did wish they let me off my leash more often. The three of us lived there for a while.

Eventually Dad met my new Mum and I would hook bacon out of the frying pan. I found my favourite spot on top of the radiator in the hall. Mum put an old towel on the top first. Oh what fun we all had. I now had the choice of six laps not three, to sit on if I chose. There were 3 boys and 1 girl as well as Mum and Dad. I hope you have enjoyed my story. My owner's name was The Tuffery family .We are Mum, Dad, Sian, Paul, Gareth and Christopher. Of course we are all grown up now and no longer live in Ashtead. Mum and Dad still keep a Siamese cat though.
