Since I left home, many many moons ago, I’ve had stray cats that come to my door and stay until they pass over. I have no idea why strays just show up and no idea where from. I’ve never been able to turn one away so I look after them. I also get the neighbours cats that want to come in all the time and I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve taken them home only for them to come back!!

I’ve once had a cat show up after my own got ran over and a few weeks later his owner was outside my house and he told me they lived 3 miles away. After questioning him in depth about his cat I let him take him home as the owner seemed to genuinely love his cat Oscar. On another occasion, I had a stray that would come round every day to feed but would never come in as I already had three cats who were not welcoming towards him. He was an extremely wild cat and I had a feeling that he had a real hard life. Unfortunately, I had to move to a bigger house couple of miles away but two weeks after the move I heard his distinctive meow outside my new house. I could not believe that he had found me.

Eighteen months ago I looked out to my garden and counted 7 cats all sat in my garden and being civil towards each other – I thought that very strange.
This past Christmas, I had to put a cat to sleep as he was extremely old and had become very ill but just before I was forced to do this, this grey cat just turned out of nowhere and has not left me since.

My question is how do they know where to find me as I’m pretty sure I don’t advertise vacancies in the Cat Gazette.?! And also why do I keep ending up with stray cats?

Most cats are telephatic
