Some of you may remember that my brother and his partner were all set to adopt my stray ginger tom at Christmas, but sadly he died of FIP before being ready to travel. They then adopted a kitten in England, a six month old ginger and white, who settled in well except for one thing. They have a walled garden but he would not stay in it and they had to keep going to pick him up from places up to a mile away. Then the inevitable happened and they got a call from a lady who had run him over four streets away.
I told them that they should have got an older cat, calmer in character, and maybe a female who would not be so inclined to wander. They will not consider an inside cat, which is unusual anyway in England. Their neighbours on both sides have cats who have survived over 15 years in their street, so it is possible. I can only hope they will have better luck next time, whenever they feel they are ready.
