Dinah's Home Page

Hi! I'm Dinah, the leader of the Bar Hill Gang, the Pussycat Posse that keeps tabs on the tabbies (and everyone else) in the neighbourhood.

Dinah lounging in the garden I'm a brown tabby with a swirly-patterned coat, so I have many admirers. I enjoy sitting in the garden on warm, sunny days and just dozing. Of course, I'm not really asleep. I'm actually keeping an eye on the other cats in the neighbourhood who seem to think that my garden also belongs to them. I ask you, what a cheek!

Dinah - proud to be a tabby I'm proud to be a tabby! And I don't mind who knows it. I patrol the neighbourhood with my tail in the air to show everyone who's the boss. I can also affect an air of haughty disdain, as you can see in this picture.

Dinah and Molly in the garden I'm really just a people cat and I love to be petted. If you want to be my friend, come over here and scritch between my ears. If I think you deserve the compliment, I might even roll over and show you my spotted tummy and let you rub it for me. Can you hear me purring? Rub my tummy a little more. There, now can you hear it?

I enjoy my food, especially bacon, but back in 2004, I was officially declared a "Tubby Tabby" and placed on a diet. Here's my weight chart for the past seven years.

Since 2004, I have been eating prescription diet kibbles produced by Hill's Pet Nutrition. They taste so good that my sister Molly prefers them to her own food! Well, I'm not sharing.
