No cat as she keeps jumping from one window to the next and I gave up trying to snap her though I do have blurred picture. Trying to hold the net curtains out of the way and keep the lunatic in place long enough to snap her has proved impossible
Just been scanning a few of my old photos from around 1986 -1989,
We had a feral cat problem from smallholding down lane and there were at least 30 cats - None were looked after except for bowls of milk so I built a cage and fed them then one day pulled door shut - Took them all to local RSPCA - I missed this one and I think she was queen of pack because she let all the others feed first
So we fed her - she wasn't a pretty cat - bit bashed about - got trod on by cow and back leg was going in all directions but had a lovely temperament - gentle but wouldn't let us touch her.
She brought two kittens to us but one had cat flu and the other grew up well but then had cancer of blood.
After two years we were sitting by pond and she just came up and rubbed up wife leg then came to me and that was start of good relationship - she came in but always had to leave door open.
One day her kitten now grown up came in and raced up stairs - we shot out and Old Mom as we called her was on lawn struggling to move - I ran out into lane and saw a couple with a Lab off lead - it had been in garden and grabbed her and shook her and broke her back - After having a few quiet words with them it was muzzeled and on a lead after that - We had to have her put down - So she was our first cat. The garden then had a sprinkling of 3/4" x 3ft steel bars stuck in ground ready
After Mon and her cat had gone we got two kittens from car dealer next door - Tiggy and Pops - Pops is dark one and was a superb hunter.
Tiggy had a weasel - I heard row and she had dropped it in dining room - did you know they smell worse than Tom cats - took over an hour to catch it.- I think it must have run it to Tiggy's mouth.
This was my boy - he used to live down road but I fed him better.
Winky (one ear) or Winks for short - I could do anything with him and he never once put his claws out.
This rabbit he pinched off Pops - I took it off him - threw it down garden and just like a dog he raced and fetched it back.
Tiggy and Pops lived till 18 and Winks was killed instantly outside just after I let him out - Felt guilty for months.

What were they for?
Change to Advantage or Advocate treatment. FL is bobbins by all accounts.
I used Frontline.
The fleas appeared to get stronger.
I switched to Advocate (and did lots of anti flea spraying) and the fleas were gone.
Also though, in the Winter, fleas tend to be less of a problem.

I once tried one of those electric nit combs from the states on one of the cats last summer. 
it was great to hear the little gits go pop/crackle. never again though, as I still have the marks!

A friend just adopted the most awesome cat fairly big black stray Tom, he'd been hanging round her friends grands parents house for the past year getting fed but she decided to take him in now it was winter took him to the vets he's chipped and apparently was given away 4 years ago in 2010 but looks like the new owners didn't keep/look after him and he became a stray.
He is the most chilled out awesome cat ever. He was curled up under the bed when I arrived to meet him so I slid under a little to see if he'd let me stroke him and he starts nuzzling my face straight away end dup curled up under the bed together ^_^
Since then he's spent the night in bed between us two general being awesome and cute.
doesn't scratch doesn't get angry or make noise just sits there and purrs.
she's contacting the original owners on Monday to see if the details are still upto date and if they want him back or if she can keep him.
never met a cat like him
