I'm being laid siege to by a cat! *UPDATE - taken*

Thanks guys.

Now I finally read through all this thread and I am especially moved by the notion that she was bold and confident first and became needy later- it may be one of these sad stories in which people move and leave the pet behind.
A paper collar can easily go while you go through shrubs and woods- and if she has never worn one she may have sat down to give it a good tear

It sounds very good what you did for her. With Filou in the state he is now I could never consider another cat- but such a cute beauty breaks your heart doesn't it?
