Meet Sunny and Rex.
We found Sunny (left), who is now about 11, when she was just an itsy-bitsy kitten playing at a bus-stop near our home late one Sunday morning. She was so little and trusting, and we were terrified that she'd hop off the kerb and right into the path of on oncoming bus without realising the danger.
We hung around the bus-stop, anxiously watching out for her and keeping our eyes peeled for her mummy to come and take her to a safer place.
But about an hour later, with no mummy cat in sight and too many close shaves for comfort, we went home to get our cat basket and brought her home with us.
She's our precious Sunday find; hence the name Sunny.
When she came home with us, she headed straight for Hepburn, our oldest cat, who sweetly took her under her wing and played surrogate mum.
Wherever Hep was, Sunny wouldn't be far away. For Sunny is a cat who isn't shy about showing the world that she loves you. Her nickname is Sunny Hunny, cos she'll just stick to you if she loves you.
She seldom takes no for an answer, and she can't understand why people who love each other should ever be shy about showing it.
We could all learn something from her.
When Hep passed on, she was lonely for a while. And then she found comfort in Rex, the perfect gentleman.
And Rex, who is 14, has found romance in his autumn years.
I love happy endings.
Don't you?
