Here's our Ziggy:
Yep, this is the face of the cat that has killed: a large female pheasant; 2 bats; 1 mole; 1 weasel plus numerous rabbits, rats, mice, voles and a few birds.
And yet she has never so much as hissed at anyone in the house. I guess that's territorial then!

I find it difficult taking photo’s of black cats, tends to confuse the light metering, but this has come out okay…
Bailed out of the cats rescue home when she was 9, she’s lived with me faithfully ever since, and looks gorgeous for her 16 years of age! : )

I found this nice pussy in Toremolinos just before New Year ...
There where plenty of them when I was there in 1970. Some thing seem never to change!
My cat doesn't like to be photographed, but he's white, so I think you get the picture...

Sad pussy tale:
This little kitten was rescued by my brother and I in 1984. Her mother was a farm cat, only half tame, and thus imginitively called the Wild Puss.
She had three little kittens, and was sadly knocked down on the road. I saw her dragging her useless mangled back legs across the yard from the road, in a desperate effort to get to her little kittens, and I could only do one thing - put her out of her misery with a sledge hammer.
Our neighour, who also worked on the same farm, had two of them and my brother and I had the this one.
Fred, my six month old Welsh Collie, was a cat killer of the first quality, though he had enough sense to leave the Wild Puss alone. He was initially good with cats but was attacked by a Persian which caused alsorts of trouble, and turned into a pathological cat killer - a fact only realised after we try to bring this kitten into the house.
The kitten survived and continued where her mother left off populating the farm with very good rat killers, but she had to be given to our nieghbour as well shortly after the photo was taking, as I think the dog's evil intent is, with hindsight, clear even in the photo.
He did not get to her, but it was close. This is the closest I ever came to owning a cat. My brother is in the photo.
