I give up!!
After years of having dogs (still have two), the missus finally persuaded me to get a cat.
Rescue Cat number 1.. First time I let it out, it returned with it's tail hanging off.. Vet removed the tail.. second time out.. it never returned.
Rescue Cat number 2.. second time out it returned dragging both it's rear legs behind it dislocated. Vet repaired cat but said it could happen again.. It did within hours and the vet recommended a humane death.
Rescue Cat number 3.. Got it a few days ago.. Missus decided that, due to my historic failure with cats, this one wouldn't be allowed out.. It immediately ran up into the loft and disappeared into the cavity wall, never to return.
What is it with cats
