Of course I feed him once a day, and make sure he has plenty of clean water, but otherwise he goes about his own business of sleeping and mouse catching. I too have had cats all my life, and a house in the country without one is unimaginable.

After that I went to just loving moggies (they're the best) But now I desperately want to have a rescue cat my DH won't hear of it He said I was too distraught by the loss )of my last cat. (He was kicked by a horse, but that was about 15 years ago. I am virtually housebound with MS and a cat would be an enormous comfort to me. We have an enormous garden, live in a 3 bungalow culdesac, and we are surrounded by farmland, so there is no dangerous traffic around, but he won't budge, even though my son is looking after a nine month old that desperately needs a home. I just feel so helpless. Am I being silly?
