Izzy is a dark blue colourpoint Snowshoe who I bought from my Sister-in-law, Gail at Kiabindhi Bengals.
Born on the 24th of May she has already had many adventures, a Macdonalds drive-through, a moor walk with the dogs and many other walks ( well carried most of the time) up into town to socialise with people, noise and traffic.
Izzy is trained twice a day with the clicker method and lots of chicken !!!

My son Tyrone was watching Izzy in the garden for me when I saw him take her on the dog agility see saw, she did it perfectly and I thought, wow ! lets just try her with some more equipment. Look at the results below of her first agility session .....amazing !

AGILITY FUN !!
Our first exercise: the jumps ..........a natural
The see saw .........perfect style !
Weave poles ........ 6 poles slalom style !!
After all that fun training Izzy had a play with Jazz, one of our others cats, a snow spotted Bengal x Tonkinese.
And she couldn`t resist a look at my daughters rabbit when it was out on it`s walk ! Wonder if she thought it was one of her litter mates, but with bigger ears ???? lol !!

IZZY`S DAILY WALK
As Izzy is a house cat I like to take her out at least once a day, so that she is able to explore and see lots of different things., as I know I wouldn`t like to be stuck in the house all day  , I love to get out in the fresh air and go walking  .
The walk we do would normally be a 10 minute walk with the dogs, but it usually turns into an half hour walk ( and carry ) with Izzy !!

A walk in the Dales Countryside
Izzy sets off with her walking buddy our 22mth old Sprollie, Inca
There is lots of things to see and explore on our walk, the most favourite is climbing and playing on the stone wall.
You joining me up here ?
The views are great
What was that noise ?
I`m sure there is a mouse down there !!
Lets check out the smells now
Catch me if you can :-)
We are best of friends
And to top it all off, there is a nice bit of wood to do some scrathing on :-)
Time for a spot of people watching.

Izzy`s beach adventure
We decided to take Izzy and our three dogs to the beach, an hours drive away. Izzy loves the car and sits on my Daughter Jessica`s lap and either goes to sleep or watches the world go by.
with all this sand around she just had to stop for a wee !!!
She wasn`t fazed at all with my three dogs barking for the ball !!
Izzy had fun trying to catch the little flies in the plants on the dunes.
When she got tired or cold from the quite chilly wind,she just climbed up my daughters leg and snuggled into her top.Where she got plenty of chicken, but `ouch` you certainly felt it when she climbed up your leg lol !!!
After all that playing she soon fell asleep but not before taking a big bite out of my daughters beef sandwich lol !!!
Snowshoes certainly have a lot of character :-)
