MEET Arlo - a games-loving little cat with an odd aversion.

Owner, Joanne Nelson, bought the eight-month-old ragdoll cross after her other three cats began pining after they lost one of their other cats.

"I bought him off Gumtree after my eldest cat, Felix, died. My other four cats were missing Felix, “said the 43-year-old from Tonge Moor.

“He is such a funny pet and loves to play tig with my other cats, as well as chasing his own tail. Arlo is such a talker and makes the funniest sounds of any cat I’ve had.

“He gets on best with my 18-month-old tabby called Lucky, who soon puts him in his place if he’s naughty. "

While Arlo loves a good game with his fellow felines, there is something he’s not too keen on.

Joanne added: “He’s known to go on mad runs around the house and regularly runs into doors and walls, although if he sees someone’s feet he has been known to attack them.

“Arlo is also incredibly ticklish and loves tummy tickles. He is an absolute treasure and I’m so glad he is part of my family.”
