Dinosaurs 2,147 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 We got 3 cats & although they visit neighbors houses some of which have cats we’ve never had a visit from any other cat. Our 4 lurchers are good with our cats but wouldnt tolerate strange cats in garden. Atb Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 31,271 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 A little update, coincidently I am hearing that in the area the old fella lives there is a savanna cat loose, not a make believe one that only people with special powers like me can see, but a privately owned licence one, just because a cat is mentioned it's not always a lie, there is sometimes a quite normal explanation and you would be quite surprised how many get brought in legally each year Link to post Share on other sites
