Blimey! There’s one around here that has sorted everything on four legs out! Believe it or not it’s from Dubai and when I shout at it to go away it can’t understand me as it’s used to Arabic. I think.A few years back now a guy I worked with adopted a tom cat from a rescue centre, apparently he'd just been left there in a cat box with a note saying that he was a baddun.
The guy took him home and introduced him to his own 2 cats. Within a week his own cats had left home, never to be seen again, quickly followed by his neighbours cats????
After a month or so he decided the new moggy must be a bit of a nutter, he was regularly coming home with signs he was involved in some sort of skirmish, but apart from that he seemed happy as Larry.
Any new cats that came into the area didn't seem to be around very long so the guy decided he would try to rehome him, but who would want a nutter cat?
Anyway, he took him to work at Devonport Dockyard, South Yard, and introduced him to his new home, and to some tough, Dockyard moggies. Within a week or so, he'd turfed them all out and ruled supreme for a while.
The story ended later that summer when the guys returned to work after the 2 week summer holidays and the nutter cat had disappeared. He might have moved on to new territories or he may have met his match, may have been taken by foxes or he may have succumbed to human intervention
I have one of those, Peggy sue, this her favourite position as hse loves to play fight, still a puppy at 9 yo
Rolo is a Springador. A cross between a Chocolate Labrador and a Springer Spaniel. He looks like a Chocolate Labrador but a bit smaller. And he has a brother called Fudge.View attachment 91872

We never wanted for Pheasant, Partridge or rabbit whilst hunting this hawk, we had 7 years together, once we got thefirst couple of years out of the way he became a very well made hawk and would bag 50-60 Pheasants per season about a dozen Partride and 80-100 rabbits and 20-30 variousI had a lovely pheasant and mushroom pie at the Strines inn the other day![]()
Rolo won't even fetch a ball. His brother meanwhile knows subconsciously he was built for fetching birds but just fetches socks and dropped laundry instead...We never wanted for Pheasant, Partridge or rabbit whilst hunting this hawk, we had 7 years together, once we got thefirst couple of years out of the way he became a very well made hawk and would bag 50-60 Pheasants per season about a dozen Partride and 80-100 rabbits and 20-30 various
