The lounge room is in desperate need of a vacuum, but who would want (or dare) to disturb dear old Tom, so contentedly sleeping in his bean bag in the morning sun? Unthinkable.

He’s been a bit distant of late, and very grumpy when he did come inside, only sleeping out of sight in the top of the wardrobe.

Perhaps he wasn’t happy with all the activity of the past few days, I guess we’ll never know. But one thing’s for sure, he’s back now with a vengeance, dominating the household, human and other domestic pets, as is his custom.

It’s a far cry from his former feral life, dear old man. We are so happy his temper has improved and he’s returned to being as companionable and talkative as ever.

We’re sure there’s no other cat quite like him, just adorable.
