SIMBA

Hi I'm Simba (aka Porteous Sesames Treet). I'm a Red Classic Tabby British Shorthair and I'm Toffee's brother.

I was born on 2nd November 1999. My dad is Champion Revlis Rebel Rouser and my mum is Porteous Kula Shaker.

As a young kitten - or hooligan as Mum called me - I was always climbing up the curtains or leaping from the back of one chair across to another at top speed but I have calmed down slightly now I'm a teenager, although Mum doesn't agree she says that I'm just as crazy as ever!!

My hobbies are football - David Beckham eat your heart out - playing in water (I adore it) and I often come home covered in mud just so that I can have a shower - sheer heaven!!. I also retrieve anything that I find, and Mum says I'm a Magpie. Practicing my leaps, twisting and turning at top speed and having play fights with Toffee are also on my list of favourite activities.

I also enjoy being with my friend Scudo ( a Norwegian Forest Cat look alike) who lives across the courtyard and we wander into each other's houses as though they were our own - I have also been known to fall asleep on Scudo's owners bed!!

I am a typical, curious cat and I am always poking my nose into anything and everything.

As a kitten I did attend a few shows but as I didn't really enjoy all the crowds and noise I retired from the show bench after the Shorthaired Cat Society Show in January 2001.

I like to think that I'm 'Top Cat' and keep all the others in their place.

In the summer months I play out from 6am until 9pm and only come in for my meals Mum says I treat the place like my own personal hotel. Of course I do, what's the point of being a cat if I can't be pampurred?
