someone on here who hurt animals? grrrrr!!
I hear you Cheryl... enjoy your housework!!
At the moment we're feeding a lot of stray cats and kittens who wander into our courtyard... I can't bear to see them hungry... my first was a stray and her Mum used to visit us for food when we first bought the house. She presented us with her two kittens the second weekend we met her. By the time we "adopted" my first, it was winter, minus 14°C at night there - very cold - and I couldn't bear to put her out when we left. They'd spend most of the weekend by our fire...
We found a friend in the city to take on one kitten and Mum (who was pregnant, but we didn't know then...) and we took the other kitten. Friend was travelling a lot with her job, so we fed them in her flat each day, and found Mum was getting bigger... figuring she was happy having a home and regular food, we didn't wonder too much... until it eventually dawned on us that she was pregnant!
So my friend ended up with 8 in all... we found homes for five of the six kittens, and we took one... and now Mum and my friend's kitten are now living in Philadelphia, US of A! They've all come a long way from the streets of Burgundy...
But I can't let myself get attached to this year's strays... aaaah!!
