I don't think he was feral, he just sort of turned up on someone's doorstep looking a bit worse for wear.  James took him in and nursed him back to health, then tried to let him go but he stayed.

Am I right in thinking that Bob was originally a "feral" cat?   :wow:  And he'll happily hang round the guy's shoulders!  :hug:

He's so chilled he's almost not a cat at all! he's more like a faithful dog the way he sits on his Big Issues and doesn't wander off.... wish I had a bond with my cat like that, I'd take him with me everywhere.  Bob is a VERY special sort of a cat.

I saw that yesterday (purely by chance, I'm off work this week). Couldn't believe how chilled Bob was, what a honey!
