    I'd always thought you made a decision & then went out & bought one. Didn't realise that they just happen.

    Gradually i'm finding that i'm adding Go Cat & extra tins of tuna to the shopping basket, and i'm being woken up at silly O'clock to let it out, then woken up again to let it back in.

    Even been turning the tap on for it, despite putting a bowl of water down for it, it prefers to drink straight from the tap:doh:

        Doesn't it mean something if a black cat crosses your path?

          Where did that come from Zigs?

          I 've been adopted by this one for the last 3 months.

          I think it goes home at times but it waits for me to open the gate onto the allotment and then asks for food, I'm trying not to get involved, but its not easy.

            She might be chipped Ziggy, I think you can get her checked for free at a vets.

              I was about to ask the same question too Loli.
              Maybe Zigs would like us all to make a suggestion and then "it" can decide,
              Jenny
              looks a nice little one Zigs. Boy or girl? Take a look !!

                  Buy one? How ridiculous, just take one of these out in your garden and shake it and you'll have loads of them for free! (packet bought today as a Cat Protection League Xmas donation, rather than a cat attraction).

                    I am not looking at a cats nether regions.

                    It snores so its probably a bloke.

                      It still snores & keeps trying to eat my mouse. Fortunately it doesn't understand what perspex is, bit thick.
