As we understand it, Tuvok must have first seen the light of day in 1996, and turned up at Cat Call, run by the estimable Julie Child, in 1997, the year that Sybilla and I were married and purchased our first house together. He was one of two cats along with Neelix, a huge tabby ball of fur and fire, that we took home. Neelix made the young Tuvok’s life a misery for the two weeks or so that we could bear it – they did NOT get on – until Neelix was thankfully rehomed on a big farm outside the town and Tuvok became ‘the one’, putting on weight, fur and attitude at an alarming rate to become one of the most handsome cats we’d ever come across.

Mr Sarek – seen here in a relaxed moment, having come off his wheels - is the senior member of the trio of cats that run the house for us. Feast your eyes – that’s well ginger! Also in the committee, Khan and Ezri. Khan runs security and Ezri is in charge of PR and Marketing. More will follow, no doubt …

Mmmm ... nubbly

Like it says, a poorly feline needs all the good will she can get … Mr Cooper is in the saddle, so the care is sorted, the rest is in the lap of Bubastis
