[...] Monty and Mimi are our ’special strays’. Mimi is the daughter of my cat Saidi and the mother of Xabi our latest kitten rescue. She is now about 18 months, and we have known her since she was about 8 weeks! She runs towards me when I walk down with their afternoon meal but she STILL doesn’t like to be touched, and last time I nearly caught her she bit me! [...]

[...] We also had a good conversation about feral cats in general. Jos like us, believes that where a cat has been born wild, as long as there is a food source and they have been sterilised, it is better to leave well alone, as they are happy generally with their outdoor environment, and here in Spain it is never that cold to be a risk. Of course there will be exceptions, but overall it does make sense to sterilise them and then release them back into the wild, since even the tiny kittens, if they are born wild, are difficult to turn into tame animals, and only then if they get really good one-on-one attention. This is the debate I keep having with myself whilst trying to decide what is best for Monty and Mimi. [...]

Get him sent over to Germany!!! Feeding them ‘wild’ is not a sustainable solution for any of them in the long run at all.

He will adjust as they all do, and the Germans have been BRILLIANT so far so I have no doubt that they could sort him out as well.

Great pics of Monty, what a handsome guy!But I do agree that he’s a cat who should continue to enjoy his freedom as that is what he’s been used to all his life.

It was also very good to hear that Bono is showing such a remarkable improvement, let’s hope he will very soon be able to eat normally.

I really wish I had managed to catch Monty 18 months ago. Three times I got him in a cage, twice he escaped before we got back in the car and once we made it to the car but he burst the door open and hurled himself around the windows so I let him go as I was afraid he might harm himself. He really does enjoy the outdoor life and is often spotted on the golf course so anyone with a home with sports facilities might just win him over. He is an avid tree climber too so I fear our first floor apartment would be a little too restricting for him even though there is the attraction of a pretty lady Siamese on offer!
