My second son (the one who is allergic to cats) is away at boarding school this year (he is School Captain and there is a 'rule' that School Captains have to board, which I hate!) and so I gave in to my daughter's plea to have a cat.
In the end we took in a mother cat and her three kittens, rather than just the one kitten, because they were so badly looked after by their previous owner.
The poor mother has since died and we gave one of the tawny kittens to a friend who asked for one, so, we are down to two - Fool and Lief (so named after a Deltora Quest character).
Fool is a boy, but it was more for the colouring that 'he' was so named. I'd have rathered that 'he' had been a 'she'!
