Merlin Mather

24th June 2010 - 23rd August 2024

Tonight our house is feeling emptier, feeling less like a home. After deteriorating over the last few days, we made the very difficult decision that it was time to say goodbye to our Merlin.

He was our first dog and from the minute we saw him being brought out of the barn, he had me wrapped right around that not-so-little paw of his. Because it’s true, that boy, however old he was when we first clapped eyes on him, he was never small. Not in stature and sure as hell not in personality.

Merlin’s had his issues, with his past a mystery to all of us, we did our best to give him the life he deserved and I like to think that with a lot of hard work, love and determination, we achieved that and he’s had a life full of (mis)adventure, naughtiness, races, snuggles, nose kisses, squeaky tennis balls, roast dinners and an obscene amount of things that really should not be eaten by a dog.

Despite his past, he was the most loving, cheeky, loyal and protective big bear of a dog, and to anyone that knew him, he rather quickly earned the title of a ‘gentle giant’. Unless of course you were any of my exes.

Last night we all sat together for the last time as a family, with Merlin in his chosen spot with us both in the kitchen. We ordered him his own Chinese takeaway and between myself and my dad taking shifts, he was never alone. Especially when the time came.

He was completely and irrevocably Merlin right up to the very end, and that’s something I will always be grateful for. That despite his past; he’d never experience suffering again in this lifetime, or his next. The last thing he knew of the world was drifting off to sleep in our arms in our kitchen after a few slices of his favourite cheese.

Sleep tight Mer-Mer, we have loved you from the day we met you, for all of your life and will carry that love with us until the end of ours.

Happy to all of our clients, both human and of the furred variety. Cats have made a remarkable impact on my life as I’ve grown up and I will never forget how much they’ve done for me.

Here are some of my own babies that I have been blessed to share my life with. While some may no longer be with us, I will always love, miss and treasure them and our memories together.

Happy Pride weekend, Brighton, from myself and the wonderful Theodore! We hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend celebrating love, equality, and authenticity.

These beautiful British Shorthairs are Storm and Grey and I’ve had the pleasure of looking after them while their parents are on holiday. They’re absolute love bugs and their favourite thing is having a good brush while snuggled up on my lap.

Although cats are perceived as very independent and solitary animals, studies show that most (not all) cats require at least 20-30 minutes of undivided attention per day. This is incredibly important as it improves a cat’s quality of life, allows you to identify any signs of illness as soon as possible, prevents unwanted behaviours and ensures your bond with them remains as tight as possible.

This is why my hour long visits are automatically included in the overall cost. The length of my stay is only ever shorter when I’ve been ‘dismissed’ (in other words if they’ve gone out for longer than 30 minutes) or it’s what the cat themself prefers. A lot of the time even if the cat isn’t interested in receiving any physical attention or is anxious, just the presence of another person in the house is more than enough reassurance and company for them and it allows me to build a relationship with them.

Since I’ve been looking after these beautiful girls, their owners have noticed they’re much happier and relaxed upon their return home and it makes me so happy to know it’s made such a difference to them ☺️

Just an FYI that I won’t be available from the 13-17th June (this Thursday-Monday) as I’ll be at Download with my sisters. I will be back on Monday and normal services will of course resume! 😸

“The smallest feet make the biggest footprints on our heart.”

I’m absolutely devastated that sweet, loving, adorable Pablo has crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.

I’ve been lucky enough to have spent a lot of time with Pabs as he grew from an anxious little kitten to a brave, curious and seasoned explorer. I’ve lived with him, visited him and loved him as though he were one of my own babies and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’m grateful that my last visit with him was full of cuddles, belly rubs and snuggles.

I’ll always remember the nights he spent cuddled up to me watching tv, or the excited chirps he made as he flopped to the floor and rolled around until you rubbed his tummy.

Pabs was a gorgeous soul inside out and I want to give a massive shoutout to his fantastic Dads for allowing me to be apart of their lives over the years. Im the luckiest cat sitter in the world. I’m going to miss this boy terribly 🖤

Hi there, has anyone seen beautiful Pablo wandering about Hanover at all in the last 24 hours? He’s been in my care, I last saw him yesterday morning but he hasn’t been home since his dad got back last night which is very out of character for him.

Pabs is a beautiful Snow Lynx Bengal cat with a heart of gold and he loves a cuddle. He may be stuck somewhere or just wandered a bit too far and gotten lost.

Please keep an eye out for his beautiful boy and give me a shout if you see him!

Thanks to everyone for being so patient! We’ve fixed whatever the hell was happening with my phone so I shouldn’t be missing any calls or texts now 😊

30/05/2024

Hello there! I hope you’re all having a lovely week. I’m afraid I’m having some technically difficulties with receiving texts and telephone calls right now. If you need to get hold of me, please contact me via my business page, my personal page or WhatsApp!

Thanks so much 😊

A very, very belated Happy New Year to all of our furry friends and their loving staff members. We hope this year is everything you want and need it to be.

For our first Cat of the Month of 2024, I present the gorgeous, soft, patient and bravest cat, Mr. Kipling. Mr. K became ill three weeks ago and after being diagnosed with diabetes, I met and began to pay daily visits to him, his brother Axl and his loving mum Claire to provide support as they get used to their new normal.

For a cat that is only three weeks into his diabetic journey, he has been AMAZING! He’s better at taking his medication than I am! Not once has he complained, gotten upset or stressed out. As soon as he has his insulin he’s back to purrs and head bumps as he patiently waits for his treat.

In addition to Mr. K, I have to praise his mum so highly! Claire has done everything possible to make this easier for him (even with a crippling needle phobia!) and he’s so lucky to have her as his human. Even his brother has been doting on him and showing him so much love.

So here he is in all of his cuteness and silliness, our February Cat of the Month 🥰

Please keep an eye out in Hanover for lovely Moe. Moe is a friendly dark tabby cat with a black spot on his side. He lives by the Codfather and usual haunts are the gardens between Islingword Street and Ewart Street. He was last seen properly on Friday the 29th of December.

It is very unusual for him to disappear like this and myself and his owners are very worried about him. Has anyone seen him? We think it’s possible he’s gotten himself stuck inside somewhere so we’re hoping that now people are returning he’ll find his way home.

If seen or you have any information on his whereabouts please call me on 07527632985 or on this page.
