A puss named Pepsi

Over a decade old and still going strong, my cat Pepsi is 11. She’s a female tabby and having entered my world in February 2000, many of my friends cannot understand how I have had the same cat for over a decade. It seems unreal, but the secret to her longevity is actually quite simple: Pepsi is not just a cat or pet, she is my friend, a member of my family and she is loved and cared for by everyone in the family.
