I had a big ginger Manx tomcat a few years back and he would go over the road to the nieghbors vege patch. He would bolt home all of a sudden, l'd see him coming and let him in then a minute later you would see the nieghbor out the front with an axe in his hand and the cat with its front feet on the coffee table watching him l was talking to the said nieghbor one day and he was whinging about this certain cat and l told him it was mine and how it watched him from the window. Well after he got over his embarrasment he told me that he kept the axe inside the back door and the moment his hand touched it my cat would take off he didnt even to to open the back door much to my cats disgust he was never chased with the axe again he loved the sport of the chase One time the cat came home with tyre marks across his back he was one tough cat. He use to bash up any dogs that had the cheek to walk on his front lawn, he never lost a battle or had a tooth laid on him...he was a cool cat

Papa always had a cat around the place to keep the mice down. When it died, the call went out for another. As we were about to go and stay on the farm for a while, we found a kitten for him in Sydney and took it up there. Its name was Puss, like every other cat he ever had.

Anyway, a few years later Papa passed away and my uncle hated cats and as we had taken it there, we had to take it back. Coming off a farm, and Papa being a bit forgetful in his older age, Puss had to fend for himself a bit. Bringing him home to Sydney outskirts could have been a problem. 13 rabbits in 12 days (he left some evidence behind to let us know he was earning his keep). Unfortunately, he had only had to deal with horses before coming to us and cars were not his forte.
