Clayton is a cat who knows what he wants, he chose his owners when he opted to live with the neighbours. Originally named Jess, Clayton, was renamed after a non-alcoholic beer and it later turned out he was she, but the name and pronoun stuck.

Favourite way to spend the day: Mimicking a sundial – sleeping in the morning sun, shifting to sleep in the midday sun, then moving to sleep in the afternoon sun.

Favourite snack: Due to Clayton’s age (a sprightly 18-year-old), he has a low-fat diet of lean chicken or turkey and fancy tin food.

Favourite toy: Clayton loves to play with an old tennis ball which he holds close to his tummy and kicks, not unlike a rabbit.

Special talent: Clayton can give high-fives with his paw when tempted with biscuits.
