Now well into our fifth year, Purr 'n' Fur continues to grow as time permits,
with a wide selection of different sections and articles for the enjoyment of cat lovers.
The site is usually updated quarterly with new material, updates and amendments,
and the June batch is now completed.

NB: apologies to visitors coming across redirects if search engines take you to any of the Fabled Felines pages —
they have been moved to a slightly different location for easier management, and it will take a little while for search engines to catch up.
Links within the site are (or should be!) working, however.

Our featured feline: the beautiful marmalade character taking pride of place here on our home page was a Dutch kitten called Dabbe, belonging to colleagues who worked at the same college as I was in eastern Holland. Trust a cat to find the sunniest spot! — and his stripes contrasted beautifully with the duvet he was sitting on (Dec 1989)
