Rupert (16) has had very little contact with other cats since I collected him from a farm aged 4 weeks - his mother had been run over soon after he was born, and he was reared in front of the Aga by the farmer's wife.<br /><br />Now though, we live in a house which is on the cat version of a rat-run, with frequent visitors who have easy access up paths, through gates and hedges. Not all of them are pleasant, and one is quite a bully, terrifying my poor boy who has taken to marking (!) his space in a attempt to feel safe.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-6495216308652228752009-06-15T01:13:32.234+01:002009-06-15T01:13:32.234+01:00It's so nice to see cats who go Out, and know ...It's so nice to see cats who go Out, and know what to do when they are Out. American cats are usually In.<br /><br />The cat politcs on my parents' cul de sac are very similar, and as glacial.<br /><br />One a Maine Coone sat in the street gutter outside their house every day for a year before my parents started to feed him, and my dad started to comb his fur. Long story, but he actually belonged to people up the road, and a feud ensued. The cat wanted to live with parents. And now he does, papers and all.<br /><br />[the captcha below is purcode!!!]Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-19018818659860850142009-06-14T23:59:32.693+01:002009-06-14T23:59:32.693+01:00I guess this large grey cat wasn't as neighbor...I guess this large grey cat wasn't as neighborly as Toffee.
