Shortly before we moved to Spain we had lost a much loved family pet due to old age. He was a Siamese cat called Buster, a real personality. We were both so upset that we promised ourselves we would not get another cat.
In Jalon there is a Rastro market each Saturday. This is a mixture between a craft fair and a car boot sale. Amongst the many stalls is one run by a Germany lady, who tries to find homes for unwanted cats. We always stopped to give her our small change and make a fuss of the cats. This Saturday there was a beautiful little kitten who looked just like a younger version of Buster. He was certainly not a full Siamense, but he certainly looked the part.
We were greatly tempted, but refused to be swayed by an impulse. We took the ladys telephone number and walked back to Parcent. On the way we realised that we could not resist and decided to get him. We rang the lady, and had to drive the 15 miles to Denia to collect him. We bought a cage to take him home, but he curled up in Jans arms and was soon purring happily.
When we got him home he explored the house, as they do, and soon tired himself out. Being a very hot evening we put him in the shower room, the coolest place in the house. After half an hour we looked in, and found him fast asleep in the sink.
I grapped my camera and took this series of photographs.
