Alan

 Alan is the older of my two black cats.

I was surprised at how many photos I have of Alan and Toast together.

On most of these, I don't know which one is Alan and which one is Toast!

Alan is the most vocal of my cats. He can really make a noise, especially if he's hungry or wants attention. He has this way of meowing and purring at the same time.

This was the other day, he just sat on David's lap for about 10 minutes, making these noises!

Most of the time, I don't mind, but if I can't figure out what he wants, then it does get frustrating!

The other day, he went missing. No one had opened any doors, so we knew he was in the house, somewhere. We found him on top of the shoe cupboard.

How did he get up there?

David had to get the ladder to lift him down.

Rescue time.

When he got down, he just huffed and walked off. I think he had found a nice hiding place and wasn't happy at being disturbed.
