The Cats at The French House

There are three resident cats at The French House Hatty, the oldest of the cats is not very old at all and is a tortoiseshell colouring. Hatty, spends most of her days hunting outside and for this reason she is rarely to be seen. However she is more likely to be seen than Napoleon.

Napoleon, Hatty's son (pictured above with Hatty), is commonly known as Nappy not only as an abbreviation of his name but also as he happens to have a bright white nappy shaped area of fur on his lower abdomen. Apart from this he is jet black other than his bright white socks. Napoleon chooses to live outside in the summer but finds it a little cold during the winter, so is usually found curled up on a chair on the cold winter mornings. Like his mother, he spends most of his days hunting rabbits and can often be seen showing off his catch on a lawn making sure that everyone is watching! Apart from these occasions Napoleon is also rarely seen.

Lastly there is Lucy (pictured below), who is never usually reffered to by her real name, instead, rather bizarrely she is known as 'Bag puss' or just 'Baggers'. The reason for this is not after the BBC's early nineties kids TV program, but rather because Lucy made her bed in the draw which happened to contain our spare plastic bags! Lucy is usually complimented by being called the prettiest of the cats, being almost siamese looking. She has bright blue eyes and a beigey colour. Lucy is the smallest of the cats but had a litter of two kittens last year (Top picture) both of whom have found good homes.

The cats usually get on with the dogs but not always with each other. Hatty tends to be the most antisocial of all the cats due to her distinct dislike of anything feline other than herself! She gets on best with two residents of The French House one being Rumpole and the other is Al.
