It is with a heavy heart that we write this post. Unfortunately this week we have lost V.I.C Smokey to rainbow bridge.
Those that met him will understand how big of a hole he has left in our hearts.
Smokey was one of those cats that come along once in your life. A big personality with little between the ears. Nothing phased this cat and he was very happy to defend his territory from the cats down the road. He was a lovable lump who's raspy purr sounded like had smoked 40 a day for 50 years. His sole purpose in life was food, whether that be catching mice and birds or the infamous beef olive theft that left Mark dumfounded. To the customers over the years that ended up having him in your car or him stealing toys out of your bags we apologise however that's just who he was.
It goes without saying that we will miss him dearly. If you are in over the next few days and weeks please give Wendy a hug and bare with us if we are a little slower at responding to enquiries.
