Saturday morning coffee<\/strong> – Danielle and her cats Zephi, Tinker and Skittles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read time:\u00a0<\/em> 3 mins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With not one, but three kitties under her roof, Danielle has quite the cat pack at home. We got chatting about the beauty of weekend rituals and what it\u2019s like living with so many moggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us the story of your cats, how did you guys meet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well Zephi came first – she\u2019s ancient now at the grand age of 19. I\u2019ve had her since birth, and now she\u2019s living out her retirement years, super deaf and super grumpy. Skittle and Tinker only came on to the scene this year, our newest additions. We adopted them from a family friend who could no longer take care of them, they\u2019re around 5\/6 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any nicknames for them?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only really Zephi that has a nickname, and that\u2019s either Zephster or HateBeast. I was serious when I said she was grumpy and really doesn\u2019t get on with the two newbies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do for a living?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I actually work in Law, so it does get pretty busy. My first ever job though was working in a deli where you were obliged to sample all the cheese – so that you could advise customers, of course! Those were the days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your typical Saturday morning routine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Normally I get up and the first thing I do is collect the cat bowls and clean them. I have to feed the cats separately, so normally I\u2019ll feed Zephi in the living room and then Tink and Skittle eat in the kitchen. The cats always come first in my day. Zephi also gets watery milk on the side, which I credit as part of the secret to her unnaturally long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your Saturday anthem?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weezer – Pork and Beans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
