On the subject of cats...we have two fur babies that we would love to bring (but my sister in law would love to keep here), but I found an awful thread on this site about the general attitude towards cats...I most definitely want what’s best for them, and if it means they will be safe and happy in the UK, as much as it would break my heart I’d rather not put them in danger. Both cats are really independent and roam quite freely and happily here (one has made herself quite at home with at least 2/3 other families in our neighbourhood) so I’m wondering how your sons cat has been until this incident, and what precautions we need to take regarding their safety should they be fit to fly? I read that they were generally considered pests, and that the garden needs to be fenced in a way that they can’t get out but I just don’t know how happy they’d be being penned in (not to mention our very own Houdini who will find a way!)
Thanks,
Sophie
Hi Sophie we lived in Australia for 17 years before returning to the UK. The majority of Australians, that we encountered, hated cats. We would never let our cat out. If the snakes and the dogs, kept in yards, don't kill them, then the cat haters will! Motorist would aim for them and a common thing was to poison milk left out in yards! Just our experience, but be warned!!!
