They were from a rough estate and of course, I was only meant to take one, but after seeing the condition they were living in we had to take both! They\u2019re now 4 and a half and have grown into beautiful big ginger boys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Meant to be. Other than caring for your boys, what do you do for work? And if you had an absolute dream job what would that be?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all live in Liverpool and I work as a Youth Offending Officer. My dream though would be to set up my own animal rescue charity abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Ahh, that really would be the dream. Do you guys have a typical Saturday morning routine together?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well I usually wake up and feed all animals, we have a dog Bella, as well as the two cats. Then usually it\u2019s a walk for Bella, followed by cleaning the house with Tommy following me around for the rest of the day. The main thing I look forward to at the weekends is chilling with the animals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The best way to spend a Saturday, surrounded by pets. Do you have any go-to weekend anthems?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing in particular, but I\u2019m usually blasting <a href=\"https:\/\/planetradio.co.uk\/kisstory\/player\/\">Kisstory Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Let\u2019s talk cats again, have you always known you were a cat person?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh definitely. I\u2019ve had cats ever since I was born, and I knew I wanted feline company when I was buying a house of my own. They make it a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>They really do. Do your two tabbies live life to any kind of schedule?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest not really. We have a cat flap so Timmy goes out as and when he wants, whereas Tommy will sleep next to me all night and doesn\u2019t really leave my side. He waits outside whilst I walk Bella then follows me all day. He sits on the bathroom side whilst I have a bath and comes in the bathroom whilst I\u2019m having a wee, he\u2019s like my shadow. I certainly don\u2019t have much privacy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Super adorable. Is there anything either of them hates with a passion?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well despite following me everywhere, neither of them are lapcats and absolutely hate sitting on my knee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>And back to you, if you had \u00a35 to spend on yourself over the weekend, what would be your treat?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely junk food. We eat healthy all through the week so it\u2019s nice to relax a bit and treat yourself at the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>And what about the cats, are there any sneaky treats they\u2019re allowed on weekends?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes actually, they both adore a little ham and cheese from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re back with another morning coffee chat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cat-people","category-saturday-morning-coffee"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
