A final Richmond CVS cat-related post for the day

Molly & Merlin are a magical brother & sister team, who couldn't be more loving and devoted to each other

All the cuties shown in our cat posts today were rescues, rehomed through animal charities Animal Rescue & Care & Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

Miette's a thrillseeker (and, therefore, often a worry to her loving family) but 100% enjoys her creature comforts once she wears herself out
