This little beggar of a kitten showed up just before it got really cold. I called the neighbours and no one said it was theirs (or they didn't want to admit it!). We already have three cats and certainly didn't need a fourth. I asked our neighbour across the road, if they wanted him in their barn. I mean, he is very sweet and cuddly but we don't need four cats. The ones we already have were hissing and swatting at him and the dogs kept chasing him. Talk about rejection from everyone. Anyway, the neighbour said he'd take him. So, to fool the cat, I drove him down our road and back again, then handed him off to the neighbour while I stayed in the vehicle then made a quick getaway. Not quick enough!
The cat came back the very next day!
(I bet you sung that sentence didn't you :-)
I didn't want to take the cat to the Animal Protection League as I knew they already had many cats without homes - so, I put up a poster in our school and yes, I was going for emotional manipulation of the children.
Here's the poster.
It still didn't work. No one phoned! By now my eldest son, was calling the cat Elvis.

I guess we have four cats.
Meet Elvis, our newest addition!
