A cat is free. That's the story, anyway — she turned up, she stayed, no purchase was made. Then you add it up. Food twice a day for fifteen years. Litter. The vet, including the one emergency at 11pm that cost more than a holiday. The chair she destr...

In high summer the garden gets crowded. Cats who were nowhere to be seen in February are suddenly on the wall, under the hedge, sitting on my shed roof as though they pay for it. Nobody organised this. Conditions were good for long enough that everyo...
