Willomena and Grace (and Ponchi)

I'm amazed that 'Mena and Grace haven't been snapped up for a home yet. If you like affectionate cats, then these two are absolutely for you. They're both 8 years old, super friendly, on their feet as soon as they see a face at the door to their pen. The first week I met them, I crouched down and they were both immediately up on my lap, sniffing and nudging me. It was a bit of a squeeze getting both of them on there, but they managed it! They get on incredibly well with each other and I've often walked by their pen to see them curled up in the same cat-bed.

Sharing a pen with Mena and Grace is the lovely Ponchi, a tortie. Unfortunately, Ponchi doesn't really get on well with Mena and Grace - maybe a personality conflict? - but she is an absolute doll with me. I'm a little concerned people might think she's a grumpy girl because of her growls at the other two, but she's actually a sweetheart!

It's difficult to give her affection without Mena and Grace trying to get in on the act, which upsets Ponchi. Apparently she gets on well with other cats, so her annoyance with Mena and Grace may be a rarity. Give her a rub on the chin, though, and she melts! 

I hope this week to be able to pay a bit more attention to Ponchi. I try to divide one arm for her and one for Mena and Grace, but those two can't sit still, so in my efforts to keep them apart, I end up waving my arms around like I'm directing a plane in for landing. I'm sure they secretly find that amusing.
