Sir Terry ever warned us against the dangers of style and glamour. I am not with him on this here. Feral cat often live in colonies and share hunting spoils as well as kitten care work. A cat that likes you will care when you are ill. They are bastards to mice and birds though. They will care for you if they like you personally.
