I have always been one of these people who likes cats and growing up I always wanted a cat. I was delighted when my in-laws gave us our first cat I was delighted. We lived in town and was so worried he would loose him that we were limiting the time spent outside and this time was usually supervised. He soon learnt to come home when we called his name and he turned into the cat with a human personality. When we went to see my inlaws he would come with us and he would play with their dog, which usually meant chasing the dogs tale. When we since moved to the suburbs Snowy soon met the cat next door, he is one of these gentle cats who wants to be friends with everyone. It therefore was never a problem to introduce him to Mara when I was given her for my birthday a year later.
