Now well in our seventh year, Purr 'n' Fur continues to grow, with a wide selection of different sections and articles for the enjoyment of cat lovers.
The site is added to three times a year in spring, summer and winter with new material, updates and amendments.
The summer batch is now complete, but we'll be back with more before the end of the year.

Trust a cat to find the sunniest spot! — and his stripes contrasted beautifully with the duvet he was sitting on (Dec 1989).
