THIS is laid back Tom who at the grand old age of 14 is more than happy to spend his days relaxing at home and getting his owners, Nick Delvard and Laura Mather to run around after him.

But when it comes to wanting his dinner, or a treat, this usually quiet cat finds his voice — he also enjoys socialising with other cats.

When he was younger he was a little tearaway and he used to climb the curtains and even the wall — he once got stuck in the Christmas tree. But these days he prefers a more sedate life plodding around the house, dozing next to a warm radiator, or sitting on a comfortable lap where there are always plenty of cuddles available.

He is definitely the boss in the house and when Tom thinks it is time to get up there is no chance of anyone having a lie in. "That early morning call usually comes at around half past five," says Laura.

But despite his very early wake up calls Tom is very much loved by both Nick and Laura — who he has been with since he was a kitten — and they would not be without him.
