My next door neighbours to one side have adopted a stray who turned up on
their doorstep. Said tabby is an intact male, who is now safely permanently
homed and is going to be taken to the vet to be fixed even though he's not
broke (if you see what I mean). It seems that Francis & the new cat are best
buddies, as my neighbour tells me they can be seen sitting in the farmyard
together :-)

Plus, my neighbour is acquiring another cat, as a family member is
travelling long-term and can't take own cat, so cat is being rehomed here.

My neighbour, who previously had a d*g when he lived elsewhere, said "I
never thought I'd become a cat person."

The little blighters have converted another to their cause :-) I shall have
to see if I can acquire some pictures of our new furry neighbours!

Cheers, helen s
