Mr August 2017 Cat Calendar
Introducing Spike. Mr August 2017 Cat Calendar
This is a homage to Spike (aka Spikels or Fatty Bum Bum) whom, with his brother Harry, were diagnosed with heart murmurs when they were young. Nicola knew they would not make old bones but it was still a great shock & sadness to lose them aged six & seven. Spike was the tiny runt of the litter but spent his life making up for that, hence the nickname Fatty Bum Bum. He would gobble down his food, then swiftly eat Harry’s & because of his tell-tale wet nose after eating, it was always (& frequently) apparent when he had been dining out. Spike had a passion for strawberries & melons, obviously understanding the importance of getting his five a day. Nicola & John tried many tactics to get Spike to eat a bit slower but he knew every trick in the book to ensure full tummy success. Spike’s food loving antics aside, he was a very loving cat although quite timid of visiting guests. He loved lap snoozes & always announced his arrival home. Despite constantly snaffling Harry’s supper he adored his brother often ignoring spare beds, Spike would create space where none existed just to be able to curl up next to him. Adorable.
