Felix..aka Stinky Pinkerton, hates Yellow Pages!

Felix the cat is originally a feral cat, her story is quite unusual, Dan was running a scrap dealership in Clydach many years ago and they had a colony of feral cats that roamed the yard. Dan tried to befriend them, tempting them with ham or sausage from his sandwiches but all to no avail. After  a year of trying one particularly cold day a grey & black cat came into the office and Dan took his chance to try the food temptation yet again and this time it worked. Over the next few months despite a few swipes and hisses he and the cat who he had named Felix became friends. The owners of the yard sold up, Dan was leaving and he wondered what would become of his little friend Felix. In conversation a few days after he left he heard that the new owners were having all the cats shot. He was really upset and went to the yard with cat carrier in the car to try to catch her. To his dismay the yard was locked and he could not get in. He put the carrier on the roof of the car and went to chat to the guys in the next unit. On his return he was astonished to see that Felix was sitting in the carrier waiting for him!
He brought her home and over the next 3 weeks we found that she was actually black and white and very lovely. She is quirky,feisty and very loving but she hates the Yellow Pages book and tries to kill it whenever it comes out...we caught it on video and here it is..
