Title: Hello from Derbyshire!
Post by: Corporal Smokey on September 05, 2007, 11:46:09 AM
Hello! Corporal Smokey here.


Thought I'd join and share fun and rescue stories with you from my humans. I'm a persian at heart, but an honourary moggie, as I was rescued in a terrible state. I was riddled with fleas, ticks and other critters and I have a flea allergy. When Amy, my female human, got me I'm ashamed to say that I was terribly stinky and covered in scabs.

After a bath  :scared: and weeks of love, I'm starting to look a little more normal. I do have a need to help other cats with a similar plight so I help my cousins at Ashfield and Amber Valley Cats' protection.

My colleague, a British Blue rescue called Josh may occasionally post for me under my name when I'm busy chasing "Mr Mouse" but I'll never be far away!

Yes chaps it's Corporal Smokey and Beau and I have corresponded on occasion. His chums at CatChat help my humans all the time.

I can see why you'd want to see a pictue of me, I'm so devilishly handsome!

My human has promised she'll upload some more later when she's not at work

Regards

Cpl Smokey

A Jolly good evening to you Corporal Smokey Sir!

Good to know there's a fine senior officer keeping that Derbyshire Regiment on it's toes.  I knew there had to be a feline of distinction behind them, (these human types wouldn't have a clue on their own, you know, quite hopeless they are some of 'em).

I'm impressed to see that your uniform's looking rather decent these days too, well done m'lad, well done!  I know what you mean about having 'little critters' on board, when I arrived at Cat Chat Towers I had a rather unwelcome brigade of, um... how shall I say... Internal Wigglies I believe is the polite term, awfully undignified business.  Still us superior officers are made of stern stuff, eh what?  Bet you gave those fleas the old one-two!!

Righto then, time I was off to marshall the troops, I do believe it's ten-past my mid evening cat-milk time, and that won't do, won't do at all...

Toodle Pip Corporal,
Give the old Amber Valley chaps a salute from me!

Distinguished Purrs from
Colonel Beau (retired)

 :welcome: To Purrs Cpl Smokey  ;D

You are very handsome and I love the colour of your uniform  ;D

Afraid Col Beau Sir must have forgot that Cpls are not officers, just the ones who do most of the work keeping the rest in order  :rofl: :rofl:  ....................Its OK he is retired and forgets   :shify: :shify:

I think your meowmy should post some bigger pics of you up so we can drool  ;D

Well then feline and human friends, I have given up trying to teach my dumb human about html so I'll do it myself!

I'm opting for sympathy first so here are some pictures of me taken on my day of rescue

and this is how I look now

I do tend to wriggle a lot whilst my human has that darned photothingy these days but I'm sure she'll pin me down and take more soon!

Why thankyou Lilycat, you're not so bad yourself. Have a look on the "Shiver me timbers!" thread to see me dressed as a pirate. Yarr!
