From the tender age of 9, I have been captivated by feline beauty.

It all started in March 2005, when, for my 10th birthday I was due to pick out and receive my very own cat. Little did I know that I would, in fact, be meeting a life-long friend, and companion; Ralph.

A sunny February morning heralded the way to our local Cat's Protection league where we were escorted to Ralph's emporium. Upon meeting his gaze we instantly fell in love; I with him and him with me. In response to my gasping expression, Ralph proceeded to consolidate me by strolling elegantly down his ramp and parading his unparalleled beauty around my ankles, establishing himself firmly as my Prince of Darkness (or POD as I often refer to him).

From this fateful day there was no doubt in our minds that we should adopt Ralph into our home and with the CPL and my father's blessing, Ralph was ours.

And oh how my pre-pubescent life flourished under his influence. His presence is exhilarating as anyone who has met him will testify and every day with this beautiful feline is an adventure. It is for these reasons that I feel it my duty to document our days together and share our experiences with the world.

I only pity the poor sods who gave him up on account of their newly born.

Thank you, Ralph, for you body and your soul.
