Tears were shed when Alfie was checked into his lodgings. By me, not the cat. He just gave me the look of betrayal.

Take me home, slave!

Cool name for a cool cat.

Surely he knows it's just for a little while?

It would be nice if they understood. I'm sure he'll be pleased when we're home again.

He was prenamed when Boyo got him as a kitten, Boyo thought it was a stupid name for a cat, but it suited him perfectly. He now has so many nicknames.
