Cats occasionally trek across our patio. Some feral and some obviously from homes. Recognise this one as the cat Alexander, our Russian next door neighbour befriended. Alexander hasn’t been here since November, but the cat no doubt checking things out on the off chance. No missing ear tip, so not neutered. And certainly doesn’t look as if it’s been going hungry. May in fact belong to someone. Wouldn’t mind having a cat if we didn’t split our year between two - and sometimes more - places. Apart from the legalities, the last time I moved with a cat - from Regina to Winnipeg - was definitely not a pleasure. For either of us.
