CB, I can't imagine how you coped. That genuinly sounds scarey to me.

I think I would be scared of someone who keeps 16 cats/dogs !!! 

I used to think people are weird to be scared of cats, after all, what is a little ball of fluff gonna do - and then I got my current cat. I swear, if he was a dog, he'd be put down under the dangerous dog act. He really doesn't like strangers, especially male ones and will attack them. He is now snipped, which has calmed him down somewhat, but he still has moments where he is nothing but claws and teeth. I am hoping that if we ever do get burgled he may give them some grief, but with my luck it will be the time of night where he curls up under the duvet with me and even the house falling down wouldn't wake him up.  :mwaha:

I closed all the zips on my canvas Troop bag and he nosed it all round the floor for ages, had a great time and didn't damage it or dribble on it ata all.
