Jenny Fensom has been caring for and looking after animals since before leaving school. Her first experience was working during her summer holidays at a local kennels and cattery. Then for several years she ran her own boarding kennels, and since 1987 has run her boarding cattery “Good Companions” in Streatley, a small village in Bedfordshire.  

As well as having a great love of animals Jenny has always enjoyed writing both poetry and prose and has recently published some of her work, much of which reflects her interests in animals and the countryside.  Jenny is also a very keen teddy bear collector and has written several articles for the monthly periodical “Teddy Bear Club International”.

Jenny’s publications include:  

In her new book Cat Etudes, which can be ordered directly from Jenny  or through any good bookshop, Jenny writes about the 12 cats she has owned herself and also relates some amusing stories about some cats she has boarded.   Follow this link to read about the background to Cat Etudes.

Jenny's 12 cats are featured in an introductory poem entitled:

THE TWELVE OFFICE CATS
Tortoiseshell Polly was the first,
Then starving Ollie always wanting more
Affable Bagpuss, fluffy, black and white
Mistress Minnie Mouser moves in next door.
Calico Kate with sunburned ears,
William Wordsworth, such a handsome lad,
Then tabby Willoughby  named after
Jane Austen’s famous cad.
Smoke grey Kizzy’s innocent life
Ends with the scream of a firework bang,
Next Roly poly Mimi and
His Imperial Highness Siamese Kang.
Meek little Aubrey finds peace and calm
In his final twilight year
Now cheeky Chivers rules the roost,
The only kitten to have resided here!
