26: One day our daughter saw an article from a Council Animal Shelter about cats that only had days to live unless they found a home. Without me knowing, my wife and daughter couldn’t resist the little fella. (Happy Walter’s day) Walter is now one year old. He is a born trophy hunter. At night he sweeps the neighbourhood for mice, rats, lizards, cicadas (his favourite), cockroaches, beetles and best of all he has a 100% success rate when it comes to catching flies on the fly. He loves his Mum to bits, the one who saved him. They are inseparable at home. Happy Walter’s dad Ivan Jensen, Engadine

40. Ludo joined our family two and a half years ago after being abandoned at the pound by his previous owners. We don't know what kind of life he had but he was scared, skiddish and didn't trust us very much at all; touching the Ludo was such an honour. Ludo is the best cat because he's worked hard to overcome his fears. He is the calmest, most placid cat who, while still warming up to being properly held, let's us pick him up, dress him up and comes to sit beside us for belly rubs Hola from Ludo!

39: Despite how appealing it may look lying around all day and getting stroked, being a fostered cat isn't easy work for our kitten ‘Paris’. It's easy to forget how simple it is for us humans to do simple tasks like grabbing a glass of water, but it's not so easy for our feline friend who is, you know, without thumbs. When we picked Paris home from the Blacktown Holding Facility we realised she had a drinking problem, or more specifically, she preferred to drink from a tap, and it's absolutely adorable.

36: I found this kitten about the size of my hand 18 months ago in the gutter. She’s the most adorable little thing and joins the other two little ones we found on the street over the years. I’m sure she is part meerkat because of the way she constantly stands on her hind legs leaning backwards for considerable periods of time when she hears a noise or sees something new to her.

We live near a light rail station and at 6 o’clock every night Havana greets the returning workers, who reward her with a pat. From Josie Lehmann, 9 Annandale.
