Post by: maddercow on March 28, 2012, 13:11:22 PM: He's so chilled he's almost not a cat at all! he's more like a faithful dog the way he sits on his Big Issues and doesn't wander off.... wish I had a bond with my cat like that, I'd take him with me everywhere. Bob is a VERY special sort of a cat.

Post by: jezebel on March 30, 2012, 17:58:39 PM: I don't think he was feral, he just sort of turned up on someone's doorstep looking a bit worse for wear. James took him in and nursed him back to health, then tried to let him go but he stayed.
