cats - Gittums
Gittums now lives in the same house as Gingernut, but used to live up 
the road.  His owner died, and he didn't settle with the person who took over 
looking after him.
He developed a liking for Gingernut's fish, and after causing some initial 
consternation was eventually adopted by his present owners. The other cats in 
the house still don't like him much, though. (They haven't forgiven him for 
stealing Gingernut's fish!)
He was a mute cat, but has now re-discovered his voice.  Gittums is very 
affectionate, and is good with children.  He is, however, a very serious cat:- 
he never plays games.
Gittums has a very long tail - in fact he can't lift it clear of the ground 
very well.  This means that if the grass is wet, so is his tail...
