Mr. Peach is a feral cat..he was just 5 weeks old when I found him in the park. He is always in the room with me but he will NOT sit on my lap and he would love to get outside. He does sleep part of the night at my side...he comes to bed in the wee hours and insists I get up no later than 6:30..he wants his breakfast!!!! I have had a number of cats in my life and he is the first one that will not sit in my lap. He fears nothing and he runs to the door if the doorbell rings...he hates other cats as well. Two little kittens were sleeping on my deck and he threw himself at the glass doors..needless to say, those little ones ran away and didn't return. Still, I love him and he is one great "quilt policeman"!
