The most ever so elegant Feline...


You may or may not be aware of the fact that Miss Furry does rather struggle with making friends. (Ahem)...this may be because she can be dare I say it a tad bossy at times.

Obviously Miss Furry is oblivious to this and would say that all cats should always know their minds, especially with the defending of their garden's and what with the constant stream of perceived  invaders of various furry, feathery fiends this is an important job.

Well, in all fairness to the said invaders we are the cottage bang smack in the middle of the row.  We are  on the way to the daisy field one way.  (As you know Mister Marmalade favourite hide out). And  the other way leads to Swirly Squirrels Wood.  Not to mention the fact that we also  appear to be on a flight path for all incoming, outgoing feathery friend's.

Miss Furry was patrolling at length this day as she takes it very seriously you know. Not quite as serious as Mister Goat when trying to get his head through the fence but serious enough to wear her new trumpet with her beloved shiny breast plate.

Miss Furry was looking all centurion  like when who should walk past? No not Mister Marmalade he had already run the gauntlet this morning  merrily making  his way down to the daisy field. (Do you know I've never known a cat love daisies as much as the cuddly Mister Marmalade).

But the most elegant cat I and even Miss Furry had to agree  had seen. Who sauntered along miss Furry's back fence like it was perfectly acceptable to do so.

Oh dear, I Thought this is not going to go well, sure enough a rather indignant Miss Furry ran (well walked) a bit fast down to the bottom of the garden. She shouted to the elegant cat with the most deliciously white tipped nose who then looked at Miss Furry and promptly lifted her delicate chin high  and walked straight along the back fence.

 Well you could have heard a furry pin drop Miss Furry  herself was indignant to say the least.  Oh dear, oh dear I though.


You-know-who, adjusted  her shiny helmet, shuffled her shiny breast plate and with her trumpet in hand strutted down to bottom of the garden to climb the post where the rules used to flap in the wind.

I have to confess at this point I put my hand's over my eyes...

Mr Marmalade Finds Courage
Mister Marmalade is a friendly old cat who has two things he must always remember every day; one never to go backwards into bushes as he often gets stuck, and two, never ever in sunny weather walk past Miss Furry's fence. Unfortunately for Mister Marmalade, he, forgot one of those two things on this fine sunny day! Also available in Canada, USA & Japan. (As well as the UK.) Please use there respective stores to purchase them in those places. Above is the UK Link.

Helen Lewins is an author. Helen was born in Northumberland but due to the closure of the coal mines, her parents moved the family to North London to take up work as publicans. After school, she started an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering medical company where she worked for many years as a Service Engineer. With a calling for something else more creative she went travelling in the UK and worked the summer in a hotel on the Jurassic Coast. This led her to study hospitality management and after graduation, she took on a role as a hotel Manager back in Northumberland. Then her life changed forever and along came her beautiful son. It became obvious early on that he was developing at a different rate from his peers. He had limited speech until he was eight years old. Eventually, after quite a long journey he was diagnosed with Autism. That is when Helen started to write about Miss Furry to entertain her son as it was based on their pet cat. It has been a very personal journey for them both and Helen hopes that Miss Furry brings joy to other children. Helen and her Son live in Northumberland with Miss Furry who does indeed spend her days patrolling the fence.
