*Cat of the Week - Stripes*

I love an unusual cat and Stripes is certainly that!

Pure white with those beautiful green eyes, she's eye catching and was very friendly when I went up to the cat home last week. I almost took her home but Little Cat would never forgive me!

Not a lot is known about Stripes at the moment (apart from the fact that she needs a better and more appropriate name!) but she arrived at the home on the 17th of May and is thought to be around two years old.

*Cat of the Week - Blue*

Cat of the week this week is one of the most unusual cats that I've come across in a really long time.

Blue is a six year old Siamese who arrived at Bath Cats and Dogs Home on the 19th of March this year. He was brought in through no fault of his own and is a friendly, vocal boy who loves fuss and attention.

Highly intelligent, he gets bored easily and needs a home with plenty going on and a scratching post to avoid too much carpet damage!

He doesn't get on with dogs and any children would need to be over eight years old.

I went down to the home last Sunday with a friend and we met Blue who is far more beautiful in person than in his pictures. He was very friendly and came up to the glass to say hello and play with his toys.

Just Dance!

There is a new love in my life and it's called Zumba!

With two weeks between jobs and a holiday in the sun coming up, I decided it was time to step up my fitness regime. The Wii Active is still a big part of that but I needed something new to add to the mix. With this in mind I headed to my local gym and grabbed a list of their exercise classes.

I have a very short attention span and so the gym on it's own will never work for me. I need a variety of classes with different styles, tempos and levels of difficulty to keep me interested and keep me going back week after week.

I tried salsacise, kick boxing, thai chi and yoga and enjoyed them all in their own ways - particularly the salsacise. Thai chi was something that I didn't really expect to engage with but I found it really calming and a great way to get my thoughts together.

The biggest success of the week however was the Zumba class. I had NO idea what it was or what it would involve but it was at a time I could make and it was something new so I went for it!

Zumba is a fusion of all dance styles all slammed together and topped with LOADS of attitude. We did some salsa, some hip hop, some pop, some meringue, some street dance and even some belly dancing! It was hard work but I didn't even notice how hot and sweaty (mmm, tasty!) I was until the end of the class.

It was brilliant fun and I'd highly recommend to everyone to find a class near them, I'll be going back every week!

Stay happy,
