I am sorry that you hold cats in such high esteem. You must not have any!
I hold the cats in higher esteem than the Clymer’s who owned them.
My 85 year old Dad in Detroit has three strays under his back porch. The Clymers left them when they were kicked out of the rental houses.
They are my Dad’s buddies, make sure when I take him shopping, we get food for them, also no trouble w/mice anymore.
Just remember, a lot of city people post here, please.
