Does Alfie need wellington boots?

It may have been the wettest summer for 100 years but our guests were out and about come rain or shine. Families often went to Bath, Bristol or Wookey Hole if it was raining but there were plenty of dry days too - perfect for Longleat, Bowood or a walk over the downs to Avebury or Stonehenge.
Our new cats Alfie and Leo have been a great hit with our guests. We've noticed quite a few have bought cat treats.
Alfie has decided that wellingtons are this years fashion not next when the weather is sure to be fabulous all summer long.
