Welcome to the Home of the Just-Boiled Kettle. Come in and grab a seat, have a cup of tea or perhaps a cafettiere of Italian coffee.

Her Royal Greeebo-ness

If you want your home page to have this stylish adornment, go here click and ask our feline friend to accept you as one of us (no, I'm not paid to have this here...) There's also a friendly place where the landlady just happens to be a cat: check out the Chesire Grin Inn: Mine's a Pint
