Alfie the black cat was born with his ginger brother Finn, in May 2003.

In his 18 & a half years of life he moved 8 times. He lived through a house fire in 2010 and hid under a shed for 2 weeks before allowing us to capture him to safety.

He continued to live a nice, well fed and comfortable life, a lazy life as he pretended to catch mice and shrews, but we discovered it was really his brother Finn who was the slayer.

He always feisty, he even put me into hospital, emergency surgery on a bitten finger and IV antibiotics. The medical staff asked me if the cat still lived, of course I said, he was a beloved family pet.

He spent his retirement living with Isabelle and her 2 kittens. He couldn't have been loved more.

RIP Alfie, you will be missed

It's devastating losing a much-loved pet, and they seem to be with us for such a short time. We had a black cat that sounds very much like Alfie ... same sharp teeth

He clearly had a good life, which is the best we can do for them ....
