My cat had to be put down a few months ago due to severe arthritus and old age and we still miss her, but there are a number of strays that live in our garden. We put one to the vet last week as it was obvious there was something wrong with its face. It turned out to have a bad infection so now has all its teeth removed, and has its bits cut off. Unfortunately due to my being away for the weeks i work i was unable to keep it but it is now with a loving foster home and doing well. We used to have a neighbour that tried to poison the strays but all the other neighbours told him firmly why we fed the strays, (keeps the rats away) and they soon moved out.
