Cats love to chase (and sometimes kill) mice and rats.
That's an accepted fact that most human accept. In many countries,
people still use 'barn cats' to take care of rodents-which is a win-win
situation for all parties (except the rodents). However, in the cities,
almost all indoor-outdoor cats will occasionally bring home a small
kill ,to show off their skill, and whether the owners welcome
the kill or not depends on the owners themselves

When
we first found
Chester, a male tabby kitten. He was probably about 4 weeks old then.
Abandoned to the cold unfriendly streets. He was freightened, hungry
and cold. When we scooped him up into our car, he was too weak even to
struggle. He ate hungrily that first night home.We brought him to the
veterinarian next morning to have him checked up. Thank God there was
nothing wrong with him
Then the BIG decision came: Do we want to keep him, or leave him at the
shelter.
We decided to keep him, and have never looked back.
Then,about 1 year later,we stumbled upon three kittens, abandoned in a
carton box, on the street corner. They were hardly a week old we could
tell. We could just leave them there as if we had not found them. They
would not have survived. We did the next natural thing that we could:
we brought them home
to nurse them.
It was through this experience 2nd time around that we decided to catch
up on our reading on cats and animal care, talked to other cat owners
and veterinarians, and practically learned everything we could learn
about caring for them.
One of our neighbours' moved out, and left behind a kitten , He
was then about 6 months old. We took him in..(he adopted us :-).and the journey
continues...
It was a journey we will never forget: A journey of love. The things we
learned about cat ownership openned our eyes to so many things that
have been ignored by so many other cat owners. This prompted us to
write
this book, dedicated to all cats with our love. We do not pretend that
this book is complete. However,we are always updating our information
in it.
All information and suggestions found in this book are strictly the
thoughts of the writer, and do not suggest to be the final authority on
this subject. Informations are gathered through research and reading of
other authors' contributions, of which we give thanks to.

CHESTER NOW
our number one
(notice the white spot on his nose?
This helps us tell him apart from Maybay)
Human health does not
need to be compromised because of a cat in the household.
Allergies to cats can often be controlled. On the other
hand, cat owners should be aware of the various zoonotic diseases that
can be transmitted between cats and humans, particularly if the owner
if immunocompromised..
What can we say....we are just so proud of them, we just cant help showing them off here.
