That's great if she is 26. I found the artical a bit confusing though. At one point it said the lady took the cat in when her son was 4 and he is now 30. Then it went on to say she had lived ferral for 22 years????

Or am I totally wrong again:oops:

I think what she's saying Jac, is that the cat kind of lived 'alongside' them. That is was an outside-cat and essentially fed itself until the fox attack.

A heartening article Angie, considering your current concerns with Merlin :D

See what happens when I take my stupid pills as Moli calls them? Doh or is it my age?:lol:

26 Thats a good age, my two came close but not close enough.
But 23 and almost 25 I thought was kinda good and healthy till then too more than happy to jump fences etc.
