Discovered as a stray in the garden at about six months old, and despite having been taught company manners by a tolerant golden retriever, he remained fairly feral to the end of his days. Until his recent retirement he would occasionally deposit whole dead rats in one&#8217;s shoes. He is believed to have had several homes, and is known to have regularly helped an elderly neighbour three doors down watch <em>Coronation Street<\/em>. He remained perky and alert until near the end, having not lost any of his marbles, though, to be fair, he didn&#8217;t have very many to begin with. He is survived by three other cats, four dogs, two chickens, a royal python, two tropical fish and four humans, whose grief will be tempered by relief from mounting vet bills.
