Fig Roll / Jaffa Cake really is quiet the ...Well... Fig Roll / Jaffa Cake really is quiet the socialite it seems; she's always been a character but we never expected to see her make the local paper! A few years ago, she would have lured you closer and then having rolled on her back started to chew your hand before running up the nearest tree.<br /><br />I'm also a member of the Fig Roll clan and wanted to give you a bit more backgrond.<br /> <br />It's nice to see her turn up on a postie's blog especially given the following: she turned up just before the weekend of Remembrance Sunday 2006, calmly walking up the garden path and into the house as if there was nothing of it, she had a sniff around and that was that, home sweet home. The vet reckoned she was about a year old at the time. We are not sure exactly where she came from, no ID chip, no one responded to the posters we put up; but we have a theory... she loves getting into things, boxes being a favourite, and often used to happily jump in the car whenever we tried to leave. Given the proximity of the sorting office (and a now confirmed affection for postmen!) we believe that she may have turned up in the area in the back of one of a post van! Maybe she watched too much postman pat in her youth. Kitty was her other little suprise for us!<br /> <br />We called her Poppy because she turned up around Remembrance Sunday.<br /> <br />The belly is as stubborn as it's owner... we suspect she has other friends, or kitchens at least, where she may frequent for the odd snack. Maybe she's developed a taste for Fig Rolls or Jaffa Cake :)<br /><br />Thanks for the excellent Blog!!!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277301307395888279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755244367385237798.post-27752807942369425112013-03-19T11:25:56.165+00:002013-03-19T11:25:56.165+00:00Hello Gareth, I'm another member of Fig roll&#...Hello Gareth, I'm another member of Fig roll's family; let's hope I can get through this without any spelling errors, or is 'famouse' a feline fantasy? I really wish you and the neighbours had been around when we named Poppy because I prefer Fig roll and Jaffa cake although, to be fair, she wasn't rotund in those days; she piled the weight on after she became a mother. We kept one kitten, 'Kitty' (sorry, I'm obviously burnt out when it comes to naming)and yes, she is shy but who wouldn't be with a mother like hers. I'm glad Poppy gets on well with you and the neighbours; you are all welcome to drop by and say hello to Poppy. P.S. Do you think I should ask for my money back for the rather costly dietary product she has?alisongoldtophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573603134863044630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755244367385237798.post-15010998751028897292013-03-18T22:18:33.423+00:002013-03-18T22:18:33.423+00:00So lovely to see your comment and to learn that yo...So lovely to see your comment and to learn that you're Fig Roll (Poppy's) owner!

She has an amazing character and is extremely friendly but can be a tease.<br /><br />Her real name is Poppy as she turned up on Rememberance Sunday however she also responds to the name Fatty.

If you live next door to Fig Roll/Jaffa Cake (LOVE your name and I think it suits her better!) then you're probably sick of postmen and their van noise... Anyway, so funny that you've experienced the same behaviour with this now famous (in certain circles) cat. Let me know her real name if you find it, and I'll look out for the brown one too. I never knew cats/blogs could attract so much interest - it's great fun.

Couldn't believe it when I saw her in the paper yesterday. I've been calling her Jaffa Cake, though. I will try and give the newspaper article to her owners and find out her real name.<br /><br />You are correct about her temprement. She rolls around on the ground like she wants a pat, but then walks away when you try. I've found, though, that if you be patient and let her come to you she is very friendly and will hang around a long time letting you pat and play with her. There is a brown cat that lives at the house too, but I've only seen it once or twice and it is very shy.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755244367385237798.post-67679308487618263212012-12-08T11:25:02.830+00:002012-12-08T11:25:02.830+00:0050 Cent is also a girl and we love her but she'...50 Cent is also a girl and we love her but she's always so timid and runs away quickly - amazed you managed to capture her!
