He's sitting on the roof at the moment watching the blackbirds eating pears. He has slugs stuck to his nether regions. In fact I'm beginning to see why he wound up in a rescue centre. Maybe I should write a book about him. Here in Derby, England, we have a mysterious large black cat the size of a Labrador. It prowls about preying on sheep in the Dales, and farmers and tourists are always catching it on camera. It's known as the Derbyshire panther and suspected to have been abandoned or escaped from a zoo. The county constabulary even have a full time officer whose job is to collate information and try to track it down. I suspect Maurice stands in for the panther on it's day off, or during holiday times.</p> He snores too, and lies on the floor in front of the fire – Hmm, I think you might have something there.

He's covered in long scruffy black fur and I believe he has a part time job working shifts on a nearby farm.... He is always filthy, takes absolutely no interest in grooming, and wags his tail vigorously when happy. He frightens small children and the elderly and is frankly a menace to society, but he's a great inspiration for writing about bad-tempered old men or untidy small boys. Oh and he's also not very bright but can sniff out a cat biscuit from 50 paces.</p> I've got a cat (Maurice) who is the size of a small dog and weighs around 20 pounds, he likes to "help" me at the computer!

What we won't do for our beloved furkids. Before we lost our dog in late 2007 I was carrying her up and down the steps too. We miss her every single day but have now filled our too quiet empty nest with two pups who have energy to spare. Hugs to you and Sprite.</p> Danna, What a sweet story.

How sad that she won't go into the rooms that you had remodeled. But, at least she feels like she can walk around in the areas of the house that she is accustomed to... It sounds like she is as devoted to you as you are to her.</p> Hi Alfred,

My dog is 15 going on 16 September the 15th. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She is my constant companion as well. When we got her she was the runt of the litter. She always slept with me in my bed. In 2006 we did some remodeling on our house and gutted out the bedrooms and remodeled them. Well, now she won't go in them because she doesn't recognize the smell so she stays out in our familyroom all the time. I did forget to mention that she has cataracts in both eyes and can't see really good but gets around like nothing is wrong with her. The only thing is she doesn't like me out of her smelling range and sight. I sleep in the familyroom with her because if I don't she will get up in the middle of the night and howl for me until I come and comfort her and then she is quiet again. It is just easy for me to do that. But one good thing is she sleeps through the night. She will get a drink of water and then go back to bed. She plops down with me and that is it till morning when she needs to get up. Well just wanted to share.</p> Hi Danna
