I seem to have acquired a cat...

I went out to put something in the bin and there, in the front garden, was an extremely nervous-looking skinny cat. I had some catfood that Dougal rejected and tried her (at least I think it's a her, I haven't looked that closely...) and it was all wolfed down in a matter of moments.
Once that hurdle was overcome, I was able to stroke her and see how bony she was, and since I can feel ribs and spine I think we're talking either lost or left behind - coat condition is pretty poor as well. Shorthaired blue, in case you were wondering, and currently sitting by the side of the sofa and purring fit to burst.
E.T.A. And I've been checking the 'local' missing cats list and may have found a match... missing since May and chipped, so we'll see when we get the chance to run this one under a scanner... ;)

We had a cockerel and three chickens once, they were Angel, Buffy, Darla an Drusilla. Angel was perfect, he turned into Angelus and had to go, he would fly at you with his legs in the air and attack you as soon as you went into the garden. Probably the most apt name we've ever come up with!
