I think the pictures say it all!

Thank you for making finding new cats a brilliant experience. We have found two very loving feline friends, you'll remember them as Boots and Socks. They now have new names Pepsi (Socks) and Bailey (Boots) and they have settled in extremely well, making themselves very at home, I've included a few pictures.
Bella & Minty apologise for the delay in sending us news but their new Dad has been very busy and has not had time to take pictures until now! They write:

We are very happy here even though our names have been changed from Sox and Smudge. The food is good and there are lots of cupboards to explore. We have a choice of beds but often sleep on Mum & Dad's bed as we can then be sure to wake them at 6.30 so we get our breakfast before Dad goes off to work. Minty collects sticks and cable ties and also likes ripping up newspapers - preferably The Times! We have the run of all the gardens at the back and like to watch the birds from the bedroom window when we can be bothered to rouse ourselves from sleep. Mum & Dad feed them so we don't think it's fair to chase them too often - anyway, it takes too much energy! We had a fun time at Christmas even though Dad would not let us climb the tree in case we got prickles in our paws. Thank you for looking after us during the summer.
Just wanted to let you know how they are getting on. We have changed their names; Cessil (white and tabby) is now Mungo, Sabrina (black and white) is Milly and Tabs (tabby with white paws) is now Midge. They all settled in well and after just a few days they accepted Midge as one of the gang. As I type this they are all sitting on the desk watching me, if I get up and go into another room they will follow. They have been out in the garden and love chasing each other and anything else that moves!! We are both so glad that we took all three, in the short time since we got them they have developed into such lovely characters, very loving but each with their own personality. Mungo is the wise one, Milly is a pickle and as soon as a cupboard is opened she is in and Midge is the less confident one who watches the other two do something before she has a go. We sat on the sofa last night with purring bundles of fur and said how glad we were that we got them and I think they feel the same way too. Thank you.

Minnie is a Persian - and that can mean trouble! They are not the brightest of cats and often are to lazy to go outside or use a litter tray so 'accidents happen! And then, of course, they decide not to eat just to worry you! They also need lots of grooming or they get matted and have to be shaved. All these things we experienced with Minnie when she was with us - it shows what a difference a proper home can make!
I have attached a few photos of Minnie in her new home (sorry that they are a bit dark). Since bringing her home 3 weeks ago, she has been an absolute joy. She has settled in very quickly with her new brother. She uses her litter tray and we have had no accidents at all. She has a very healthy appetite and we have not had any problems with her not eating. She loves to keep us awake at night playing, but we don't mind as at least now she is happy. She is brushed everyday and loves every minute of it - she whinges when the brush goes away!!! I will keep you updated with her progress. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to own such a lovely cat.
