I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think there's an army of zombie cats marching across Britain...


And I wouldn't want to be in Amelie's shoes when they get here...


But if there's one thing scarier than the walking dead, it's my friend Stefan's ability to spot ocular pathology from across the room. He's like Medusa. The moment you look him in the eye, your life is pretty much over. It also explains the snakes in the photos above. I think he's losing his hair.

Anyhoo, despite the obvious dangers involved, we decided to pop over to Stefan & Andrew's flat yesterday afternoon to visit their little ankle-biters. Amelie had just been swimming, so I told her to keep her goggles on for protection, and not to meet Stefan's gaze. It turned out to be no problem. She was too busy looking at the kittens.

We arrived to find Zita and Rozi living the champagne lifestyle by drinking from an ice bucket...


That's Rozi on the left, looking like a miniature Shimmy, with the more tortoise-shell Zita on the right. The box in the background is either champagne or lasagne.

To my disappointment, it was champagne...


I think they're playing chase. That's Lorraine Chase on Celebrity Squares. The tanned spotty thing at the bottom is Bob Monkhouse.

Anyhoo, the good news is that Zita and Rozi have landed on their feet (often from a great height), and are being far better cared for than they ever were living here. I'm not sure they're giving their mother a second thought either. They're a lot like Amelie at her grandparents. While Lisa and I chose to lock the kittens in a cage, Stefan and Andrew give them their own DVD to watch...


... and a state-of-the-art (the art being kitsch) cat bed...


They also have more mice than Rentokil, and enough balls to host Wimbledon. It's no wonder Zita and Rozi wouldn't let us pick them up. They must have been terrified we'd take them back home.

Aaaah!  They're obviously enjoying their luxury lifestyle.
