ED and Alice are two of Mary's four cats.

Alice is a slut and will attach herself to anyone who shows an interest although she does have a preference for men. She also has the habit of pissing on any soft surface - coat, bag, afghan... - that has been left laying around.

Ed is a giant size moggy with one hell of a temper. He just about rules the roost and his favourite trick is to throw up any food that isn't to his liking. Most of the time he can be a real sweetie but you have to watch him fairly carefully as he can turn.

However, as per the rule in Mary's house, her cats can do no wrong!
