Just to increase the rpca posts!

I kept whippets, and chickens, ne'er the two should meet as of my 11
whippets only two were safe with poultry.
I had a lurcher, Trim, she looked like a smaller Irish wolfhound and she was
good with stock, so she used to "help" me in the morning, her agenda was to
eat the layers pellets, lurchers are very greedy.  She passed away in 95 of
liver cancer.  While she was still alive and helping I used to notice this
tiny black and white tuxedo cat, perched on top of my hen huts, hunting.
Trim got used to her, never chased her.  I assumed she belonged to a
neighbour.
So she did.  Unfortunately, Kitty FC spent so much time over at my place
that when her owners moved they went without her as she didn't show up in
time for the removal van.
After that (I didn't know this until ages later) she lived in my garden for
years, sleeping in my toolshed.  When I finally realised she was abandoned I
fed her out in the garden twice a day.
The last of my dogs went to RB one October day.  On December 1st, my
birthday, I opened the door to get my post.  There was a tiny black and
white tuxedo girl there.   She has no voice at all, but she just opened her
mouth, nothing came out.
That's when I knew there was no reason that I couldn't give her a home.
So I asked her to come in..the rest is history.
