a little amusing tale for you...
a close friend and neighbour of mine has 3 cats, and i had mentioned a long while ago about buying a cat (i do have one now) but he passed on his advice on getting a cat
"if you want a cat, dont buy one, just put some food down for them by your back door, and you'll soon have one!"
and sure enough thats true, he has one cat which a friend bought him a while back, (so thats 1xcat)
then another cat started hanging about by his door everyday, so he started putting food down for it as it looked hungry, then it started coming in the back door, which is never shut anyway (so now thats 2xcats)
finally another big feral tomcat started hanging around, and he had this huge horrid wound across the back of his neck, which looked very nasty, so he started putting food down for him until he managed to catch him and get him to the vets for "repair" the vest said it didnt look good, but my friend and another neighbour chipped together to help the big feral tom out. a week later he was out the vets with some serious stitches and my mate took him in till he got better, but he never left! (3xcats)
and now the big feral tomcat is the biggest fuss-cat ever! he follows my mate everywhere round the house and garden, and always has to be on his lap.
the politics going on between the 3 cats is very amusing to watch, they really do have thier own lives going on you know! lol
