The previous tenants had left the cat...eight months ago. It would be wild by now and the last thing we needed was a wild cat in the house. As 'it is, our lives are sufficiently complicated by one large dog, very aggressive but full of mischief, one small dog, pure-bred and nervous and by a large, lazy, long-haired cat. Our super agressive Husky 'made the decision for us. He had cornered the cat in the barn. The dog bayed, the cat screamed, the the Hot Water Bottle shouted instructions to all and sundry. Sundry not being available, | tried to follow all her directions at once. "Hold Angus!" | tried to hold Angus. Scenting dinner, Angus was not about to be held. There's nothing Angus likes better than cat. Cat with mustard, cat on toast, cat with chocolate ice cream, Siamese cat with chop suey, Abyssinian cat with a sweet potato pie. The small Sheltie added his nervous yelps to the din. The Hot Water Bottle shouted louder, Angus barked more hungrily, Sean yelped more frantically, the cat screamed more desparately, and | said quietly, "C'mere pussy, C'mere pussy, Cheecheechee,'"" and the cat bounded out of the shadows and into my arms. Angus attacked us both, starvation evident in every pore, while Sean settled into a low pitched snarl as evidence of his willingness to eat half of anything that Angus killed. I ran for the house holding the cat high above my head while Angus chased after my trying to sink his teeth into something, anything. I burst into the house, put the cat on the mantel piece and chased Angus and Sean outside where they called all the torments of hell upon my body for turning out to be such a fink.

Food for the cat! - Some people call It the maternal instinct but | think she has the true instincts of an industrial caterer, feed a cold, feed a fever, feed a broken leg. Anyway, she fed the waif and he ate and ate and ate and gradually settled down to purring like the Concords:while the Great Earth Mother shoveled food at him. "See how he's settling down? All he needed was a little food." "A little food!' | answered, "Garfield Weston couldn't afford this cat." i "We can't just call him 'this cat'. What will we call him?" "Barney." "Why Barney?' 'Cause we got him in the barn." "I suppose if it's a girl we'll call her Barnadette."' "If this cat's a female,' said |, "it goes back to the barn." "Don't be silly,'" said the old Earth Mother, "but we will have to make sleeping arrange- ments for tonight. We'll put Barney in the family room, the other cat in the spare room, and lock Angus and Sean into the other half of the house." "Where will | sleep?' "Don't be daft, you'll sleep where you always sleep." We slept where we always sleep except for Angus and me. Angus knew his dinner was in the house somewhere and he does get tired of dog chow. Here was his first chance fo be self supporting and | had turned on him, I, of all people. So he kept an eye and ear open for everything while | kept an eye on him., in case he decided any dinner at all was better than no dinner at all.
