My last addition to our cat family is Marmite, he is a pure black domestic shorthair. He is the son of my cat Toots she had a litter of all boys, 4 black shorthaired and one fluffy ginger boy.

I called Marmite his name because when he was about 5 weeks old I was eating Marmite on toast and he tried to steal it and I sat there feeding him the rest of my piece of toast. He is 6 months old now and a real mummy’s boy he loves to be where ever I am even coming in the bathroom with me.

He likes to sit with me while I am using the computer either laying on my arm, which is annoying when I am trying to type or if I keep putting him on the floor he will jump up on my shoulder and go to sleep.

He also loves meeting new people and as soon as someone new come to the house he will either tap them on the back when they sit down or jump on their laps. He also like to help my children with their homework ( well at least he thinks he is ) and sulks if they push him away.

He has also just taught the younger kittens in the house to use a litter box by using it himself and calling to them he also washes the younger kittens. Marmite also has a habit of acting like a dog when I return home from going out by jumping up at me and licking me, he has turned into a very special cat.

My husband had said I was not keeping any more cats because we have 6 already but I got my own way and I am so glad I did. I hope he will be with us for many years to come and I am really sure that he will develop many more funny ways and habits as I am really not sure whether he thinks he is a cat a dog or a human just maybe he thinks he is all 3 but one thing is for sure he definitely keeps us amused.
