Marley
As well as the house cat, Spodge, there are a couple of others that hang around. One of these is known to us as Marley (because he wails outside the door...) and he hung around looking hungry and pathetic until we fed him. Unfortunately he is also a bit radged and would turn on us for no reason as we were feeding him with full on teeth and claws. My housemate TC and I both have nasty scars to illustrate this. Eventually I called the RSPCA and explained the situation. There were two choices - take him away and put him down or neuter him and bring him back. Had to pick the latter, so it was done. Today Marley still hangs around and wails for food, looking sleek and healthy but we still don't dare put our hands near him, so when we feed him we have to don big leather gardening gauntlets and do it very quickly.
