They were both from the RSPCA and were free. My mum use to foster puppies and kittens for the RSPCA. Thumper they thought was a girl but later we discovered it was a boy. Smokey was a girl.
Sadly Thumper was put to sleep as he had tooth abcess's both sides of his mouth.
Smokey die from fly strike something I was not aware of when I was a teenager.
It was a good set up considering it was 25 odd years ago lol
