With many of them coming from what social workers might describe as 'dysfunctional backgrounds', a fair amount of chaos is to be expected.

Then there are the cats - one suffering from delusions of grandeur, an epileptic, a snake collector and another recently discharged from a reformatory mention peacocks of royal lineage, oiled penguins and a lost albatross. These are but a few of the creatures who find their way into the couple's home and their hearts. not to
