This is a break from normal service to tell you about something that has kinda changed my life…

As a lifelong animal lover, I’m forever grateful to have had an overnight stay at the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent last weekend – some of you may have seen the TV series during which hand-reared Maya the mighty jaguar learned to swim, to help her strength/coordination after being malnourished at 5 days old, or watched Willow the cheetah who had a fractured front paw as a cub, but who now spends her life purring at top volume (captured in my video – link below!).
