My April Pet...



This is Ginny AKA Ginny Cat, of the royal ginger variety, given to me by my now long-distance friend and once co-worker.
Ginny is my resident snake hunter, and has even been known to pull a red-belly black snake out of my hallway cupboard (yes, I did put my hand into that cupboard and drag her out, narrowly missing being struck at by said snake...)
Ginny is around 5 years old and lords it a bit over the household. She mostly sleeps on Miss 14's bed at night, along with her best friend Bundy. But she is also a bit of a bully and is known to frequently attack one of my more timid feline friends. (tsk tsk). I sometimes wonder if she thinks she's a tomcat - especially after catching her spraying on a tree outside. 
Ginnie, I might have to call you Jimmy instead...

Brave cat. eeeek on the snakes. I'm a city girl through and through, and the thought of snakes in a house terrifies me.

Ginnie does sound like a character indeed.

I loathe snakes too Eleni - if the snake is in the paddock and far away, that's fine - but in the house! NO WAY!
And yes, she's a character =)
