June 2011

It was about 6 months after Jet had passed away and we felt ready for another cat. We decided to head off towards TEARS which is just down the road. Paul’s instructions were for us to get a black cat (like Jet).We were keen to get a kitten but all their tiny kittens were in quarantine (cat ‘flu I think).

But they did have a 3-month old kitten in a separate cage who had been brought back to TEARS because he had ringworm which is quite difficult to treat on cats. but he had been treated and was all fine. We went to have a look, he was pitch black and sleek and when they opened the big cage door, goblin leapt onto Lambert and curled up on his chest. So Goblin chose us! We filled in all the paperwork which took ages and we eventually went home with Gobs. It was Father’s Day, Sunday 19 June 2011. His birthdate is probably March 2011.

We had his sandbox and food in the bath and created a barrier with the bookshelf so that Chuck couldn’t get him. They soon got used to each other and Goblin and Chuck spent hours playing and chasing each other upstairs. At 3-months old, Goblin could out-smart Chuck.

Mia is never nice to Goblin.
