Pet of the Month: 

"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms" - George Eliot

This month's Pets of the Month is Julius, brought to us by Anna Steel. He is a 10 year old ginger cat who is very adventurous and loves to play outside. He loves getting petted and rolls on his back so you can pet his tummy. Julius loves to hunt mice and birds and is very good at it. He likes to leave his owners presents.
