To add another breed.. We have had Berman cats for many years. Mainly an indoor cat but will check the outside is still there occasionally. Ours is 16 now. sleeps alone during the ay and seeks us out for a cuddle in the evening.

When we went we managed to find US jungle boots for my wife Size 6 UK. Had to shop around but found some. They were the old style with black fabric upper and the cleats like tractor tyres to grip in wet mud. Worked well although not very light weight!
