Notwithstanding as the proud parent of two cats myself, I’d be thrilled to know how they were interacting with the local community.
There is another more positive aspect to this thread. If a precious puss goes missing, the familiarity of that cat to others through a forum like this could help in tracing or finding the pet. I’m not a big fan of letting cats roam freely because of the possible dangers they face. I liken it to letting your cherished child go wondering the 'hood in the wee hours of the morning. I’d be much happier if my cats were becoming part of the community through a forum like this.
Not sure of this guys name (Bags Maybe??) but he hangs out all day in Shannons Garden Centre - generally sleeping and being made a fuss of by the likes of me!
My two cats, Frank and Milly, are indoor cats so don’t get to meet these lovely locals (although I do from time to time!).
I’ll post up some photos if I remember to stick some on my laptop.
There’s a couple of really friendly cats on grierson Road and Riseldine Road that always seem to enjoy following me as I walk along; doing that thing where they run ahead of you, collapse on the ground, writhing, and then start again.
