    :)No wonder his name is Rusty...I leave my greenhouse open for for him to shelter in from the rain but he is more often snuggled up under my bench .

    Pro Gar suggested the cat is a MainCoon breed. His fur has to be coombed out almost daily to avoid matting.
    He does come inside but he is timid and likes to have an escape route,so that tends to be during the night time.

    Yep, he could be a Main Coon type, not sure if I've seen those in orange tabby. I am thinking one of the other long hair breeds. Its good he lets you brush him, so pretty.

    Yes Pro:thumb: They live their seperate lives,only meeting at meal times really. They occasionally visit me at the same time in the greenhouse and are content to try to trip me up between them:D
