DuchessDuchessWe met Duchess this May when we went to Cornwall for a few days.  Living in a converted chapel near St. Austell, at 19 3/4 years of age, Duchess was deaf ,  cranky and very vocal.  A beautiful cat, she allowed me to stroke her before she went off for her breakfast. 

The Chapel Guest House has been exquisitely converted to a very high specification.  Owners, Chris and Wendy, are a very friendly couple, very knowledgeable about the area.  Wendy provided the most heavenly of breakfasts!

A Cats Purr

"Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...

A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice."
