LOL Mary! Chuch is mine-i don't foster! I've had him nearly 6 years. Some kids who lived in the flat above me said their nan had rescued him from a pack of dogs (!) and had then become allergic to him!
They hadn't got a clue how to look after him (I'd never had a cat before but looked after Charlie and the other ferals at work so had SOME idea!) I offered to ring someone i knew (Debbie) who has a rescue centre to get him rehomed-the novelty had worn off after 2 weeks
) and they jumped at it! She got in touch with CP as she had no room and they would take him if i could hang onto him for a bit...................6 years later.......
Debbie (who used to come to the factory and get the ferals neutered) must have told CP how soft i was about the ferals and how i cried when i'd trapped mommy's babies all the time! She knew i wouldn't give him up
He's not fat-last year the vet said 'he's a big, healthy cat' (He was 5.2kgs in October)
Rosella, as you can see my garden isn't QUITE as good as yours, but is made up of moss and fallen leaves from the overhanging tree!
