What fools these mortals be?

and they say cats have curious habits...tsk!

The old aunty told me some surprising news this evening as I was feeding Fatboy. It seemed that on Sunday she saw 2 policemen trying to catch Fatboy at about 8.10 pm. So she yelled at them and demanded to know why they were trying to steal her cat. She said they both denied trying to do this and she told them not to lie as she saw them trying to corner Fatboy. She said she tried to look at their tags but she was not successful. I asked her if she recognised them but she said she did not. However she told me one of them looked familiar- as though she had seen him before with his very young daughter talking to Fatboy.

I told her he may be trying to corner Fatboy so he could take her home. She admitted that she had once told him that if he wanted to take Fatboy home, he should not let him roam wildly and he has to feed Fatboy as well as take him to the vet. I told her that the advice she gave was sound. We both decided we should be more vigilant and look out for the couple - father and daughter. It seemed that the daughter likes Fatboy quite a bit according to the auntie.

It is a great mystery.

  3. Now, that really makes me wonder what their business was. It can't be one of them wants to catch the cat to take home, right? Not when he's using official public resource?

    Strange.
