PS: Please note that there is a very friendly cat in the neighborhood whose family moved away and left :( We put out a bowl of cat biscuits in the garden some evenings if we see it. The cat is not allowed in the house and obviously there’s no obligation to feed it, however we leave a supply of cat biscuits should holiday makers wish to ;)
