Tabby was never one for being picked up or messed about although she was primarily a indoor cat & in her final years was in all the time. In her early years she was hit by a car & her back suffered later in her life. She liked to speak to you but only when she wanted feeding which was all the time as we think she had cat altzimers as you could feed her & then she would eat & walk away & come back to be fed again 2 mins later. We loved her & she will be missed.
