My boy cat, Sox, was dumped in our street a few years back in early march. He looked around the right size to be someone's unwanted Christmas present. He was very social and loved attention from the kids, but the first time I let him inside our house (after being sure that no one was looking for him) it took me a month to get him back out again. He would not leave the safety of the house for any reason whatsoever. We think he was terrified of being locked out and not being let back in. Of course now he knocks on the door to come in and calls to be let out and treats us all like staff lol I whole heartedly agree.

When I was pregnant, one of the flash magazines had a "What to do for the last 10 days of pregnancy" and amongst the great ideas (haircut, legs waxed, sleep) was this clanger "Get a puppy" - whoever wrote that has NEVER had a new pet to deal with OR a new baby! ha ha - I have only once suggested to someone buying someone a pet - and that was for her MIL after her MIL had given her daughters a large pink TV/DVD (they had a TV free policy) - I suggested 2 puppies was a fair exchange, although she is still thinking a cow!

Never bought an animal from a pet shop never will, they count on impulse buying at chrissie, all they care about is the money.
