Dave's brother just called to wish us a happy Xmas etc and he
mentioned that his FIL has got a mouse problem where he lives and so
he decided to get a cat. He's had cats before but not for the last
couple of years. Also since his wife died a cat will be company for
him as well as an organic solution to the  mice problem

Anyway as he's not so young himself, he had Adam (Dave's brother) take
him to check out a possible cat from the rescue centre determined that
he didn't want a kitten and he has stuck to that.

Vetting has been completed and in a few days they are going to collect
the cat that chose him- a tuxedo boy who was handed in after his slave
died a few weeks ago who is about 10 years old- sounds like a perfect
match, he's in fine health and they bonded at once as he said the cat
chose him not the other way round

Also as a result of all this Adam is being pestered by his kids to
have a cat so he's going to the rescue in a week or so to select one
or two (he's open to the idea they would be company for each other)
cats rather than kittens since he wants to be sure of their
temperament around children. He's looking for a younger cat (or cats)
but not a kitten

So there are some happy endings for the New Year already
