Thread: She's the reason why we wanted a pet cat

Thats a lovely story. I'm sure Ruby made her way back to her owner. My husband's Mum always has neighbouring cats with collars on ,come visit for a day or two and they they head off again. Cats are funny creatures.
We had a beautiful longhaired cat which my Aunt gave us a gift some years ago. It wasn't a pedigree but had that "Maine Coon" look. For such a young kitty he really used to amuse us with his antics. We had a hawthorn tree at the bottom of the garden which we could see from our dining room window and the crows build a nest there every year. Well "Fluffy" ( he was christened by a 7 year old!) liked to climb the tree and take on the crows, who were trying to build the nest. It was very amusing and I'm just sorry I did not take snaps.

Fluff was booked in for his big op at 6 mths with the vet and on the morning off the op, my Dad opened the garage door and Fluff bolted. We started to worry when he hadn't come back within an hr. Had to ring the vet to cancel operation. Sadly we found him later, he had got knocked down by a car on the road. We reckon because he had been fasting he was low on energy and just did not have time to jump into the ditch

From then on I have always wanted to get a long haired cat ..........and now he's on his way
