So near yet so far.........

.........I opened the back door just in time to see stripey tailed tom coming out of the shed, and for the first time he didn't run when he saw me. That was enough, but when I called him he came over to me, not close enough to stroke, but the closest he's been. I nipped back in to get a plate of some food my lot refused to eat, put it down, but as he inched forward Bola appeared and decided he liked it after all Stripey tailed tom backed off and slowly made his way (spraying every few feet) out of the garden.

Oh wha a picture that conjured up Bola is just letting him know who's boss, even if that means eating stuff he doesn't like. What a hero.

Bola isn't the boss, his stomach is

I wouldn't have minded but he's happy to share a plate of food normally, but not yesterday and stripey tailed tom must have been hungry to even approach me like that.

Ian

hungry or not, he was too slow where Bola was concerned.
