So I thought I would bring you all (those who remember the Dave Saga) up to date on his progress.
It's now just over a year since Dave and I made that journey from Ipswich to Norwich on the train. And we've never looked back. I have never regretted my decision to adopt him and save him from a horrible existence in my niece's back garden. She has since moved back to Lowestoft so God knows what would have happened to my boy. She could not take him in as he bullied her cats and he is a 'one cat in the house only' cat.
He is loving, affectionate, and my best friend. He eats well, (he can be greedy at times) and loves to lie about in the sun patiently watching a rat hole. Yes....he's a good hunter as well.
Today, as it is raining, he is not a happy boy. He keeps wanting me to open the door every few minutes in the hope that the rain has stopped. Lol. He follows me up the street when I go to take photos of the sunset from the hill,and waits patiently for me coming back. Greets me when I come home from anywhere and he never leaves my side for hours after.
I'd post a photo but I keep getting the message that it's to big. I'll try later.
and as soon as they jump down Grace slithers around the corner and empties the bowl!
I'd only really worry about rat poison if you lived near hotels/restaurants - they will put down poisons if the suspect rats. But if it is anything like around here, once a cat moves in the rats move out as there are easier places to live. I haven't seen a rat for years.
