Storytelling

Storytelling! I love writing short stories, particularly about my animals. In this category you will find all sorts of stories about Stevie Mouse, Treacle and the other cats, as well as funny stories about my dogs Spud and Ringo.

Read about three lost kittens and see the interaction between my large family of 16 cats. See how Stevie Mouse, who can’t see very well, joins in from afar. Watch Treacle grow from a gormless kitten into a worthwhile member of society. And see the cats laughing at the various antics of the dogs!

There is the story of Spud and Ringo, abandoned as puppies and how they found their forever home.

And not forgetting little Emmy, the epileptic cat, no longer with us but immortalized in the cat stories.

Read how the grown up cats tease the kittens with stories of monsters and then how they teach them how to live here and find their way home if they get lost – with the help of a curmudgeonly but friendly wild boar.

I get lost in the storytelling, bringing out the characters of the animals. And the stories usually have a little moral or lesson included in them.
