TSC Scavenger challenge
#37 A black cat out and about (NOT your pet)

This cat turned up at our place and was starving hungry. I called him "Sweetie" We have seen him before, visiting our cat Dora. He has yellow eyes and a long tail, and Dora has green eyes and a bobtail, so they look very alike. He hung around, and kept coming back for food. We asked our neighbour, and he said that it was probably Phat Albert who had been missing about a month, and had been living in a drain.

Next time he came by we kept him in, and Ian visited the likely owners, who confirmed that he was their cat. They were overjoyed to be reunited with him :-)

Apparently "phat" means cool or excellent :-)

Oh what a lovely story. He has a pretty cool name. Great shot of Dora too. I didn’t realise she had a bobtail.

Thanks Jan. We were pleased to get him back to his own home. Dora was born with a bobtail, but some of her siblings had long tails.

Well done! =)

I have no idea yet where and how I manage to spot one.

I know that there are strict laws regarding taking pictures in other countries but perhaps if it is allowed ... and if you have a pet store or facility that adopts out stray cats, perhaps they would let you take a picture of a black cat if they have one. I may have to resort to that if it gets close to the end of the year and I still haven't come across one. There is a store out of town that has a lot of stray cats that they care for, they feed them, give them a warm place to be in the cold months, and they have them spayed or neutered. I may just ride out there and see if the black one is still there. good luck

Thank you for the suggestion, Chris =)

We have a shelter for homeless cats here in Tampere. Perhaps I could visit there. Hopefully I just don't go and give a home for one of them, because I am allergic to cats.

Your welcome ... and yes one does run the risk of bringing one of those homeless cats home. Good for the pussy cat but not good for your allergies.
