There is a stray cat at my door, will you take it in, I said we have to make sure it really is a stray before we can; somehow alarm bells were already ringing. After a few more questions the caller admitted that the cat belonged to her daughter and it had been given to her as a present by an ex boyfriend, They had split up and the daughter had gone home. The mother could not possibly have it in the house as she had birds. I asked until we had room could the cat be in the daughters bedroom, she said but we have birds in every room, I said even in your daughters bedroom, she said no, so again I asked if the cat could go in her room, Oh! no she says there is no glass in her door. Eventually I said if she sent me a pic and details I would put the cat on my site for her but I left her in no doubt that her daughter had a responsibility act and since the new welfare bill she could be in serious trouble if she neglected it.
