This is
Feli, a much loved and missed cat who lived with us for a good number of years
from when we moved down to West Wales.
Feli was a
stray cat who roamed the area where we moved to in Corfe Castle in Dorset. Some of the neighbours had been feeding him
for years and we didn’t feel we could interfere too much when we arrived.
But he
started coming into to be fed regularly, although wouldn’t let anyone get near him, and when we decided to move to
Wales we knew we had to take him with us.
To avoid
any last minute dramas at moving time, we trapped him about a week before. Feli was not happy. He bit the vet who we had castrate him. As we was so wild we put him into a cattery
for ‘safe keeping’, and when we went to collect him for his move to Wales, he
bit the lady who owned the cattery (she actually had to go to hospital) and bite
Denise badly as well.
When we
arrived here we let him out in a quite part of the house, we didn’t really see much
of him but he took his food and we knew he was safe and his roaming days should
be behind him.
He
eventually started to come out and after some months fell in love with Womble,
a very handsome cat already living here.
They were inseparable, mainly it has to be said because Feli wouldn’t
leave Womble alone. Womble always looked like he could take it or leave it!
Although he
was so very happy here, Feli never got over his fear of people and the only
time we were able to hold him was when he eventually died a very peaceful
death.
