Helena arrived at Landsker just before Christmas 2003, she just loved that Christmas tree! Helena has settled in well and has firmly esconced herself in the feline and human household. She is a lovely large framed sturdy girl with a sweet nature and really wonderful mothering instincts after a difficult start. Below are a couple of pictures of her, she just loves to cuddle...even when it's just Tippo's tail :-). She has been a wonderful cat to practise positive re-inforcement on as she has a tendency to be shy with people that she doesn't know. Treat based training has given her a confidence that is wonderful to see, she now chooses to spend much more time outside in the village of runs, which she would only make very quick visits to when she was younger and also, to her great surprise and mine, actually sits on my lap for a fuss these days. The difference all started with a couple of slow blinks when she made eye contact and she just hasn't looked back since, what a joy she is to have around!
