old cats rescue

---

Today we took back the cat cage we'd borrowed from the cat rescue people. The RSPCA apparently only keep young, friendly and tame cats that are easily rehomable - the rest they put down. Except ..... step up Mark and Stella who take the old and the wild, and look after them until they find a nice kind owner. At the moment they have 27 unwanted elderly cats, mostly asleep in the sunroom, or following them about in the hope of a cuddle. I expect that most will end their days there. And that's where our 2 came from - not old thats for sure, but wild they certainly are. And this morning I found a dead rat outside, the first of many I hope.

those sedgey banks ....
Shakespeare called them I seem to remember! Reminds me of a farm that I worked on, which bordered the Severn - near Shrewsbury - oh now I remember it was at Bomere Heath. Lovely photo's Carrie - but too many cats for me!! Nice tractors though - did they adopt them too ?????
