Free to a good home - if you can catch him and domesticate him, he is all yours - he is gradually becoming tamer. =D

UPDATE: PHOTOS - Photo 1: Black Boy Cat. Photo 2: Black Boy Cat. Photo 3: Black Boy Cat is on the left, and his Mama Cat is on the right. =D
My cleaning customer not far from me here in my suburb of Te Atatu South, has a rather handsome, healthy, thick-furred adult black boy cat hanging round his house. My customer said he was thinking of having him put down! I said no - it'd be a shame to put him down - he's so beautiful and healthy! This black boy cat is the son of my customer's now-desexed, formerly stray female cat he's adopted - he is quite a bit larger than his mum already, but still tries to hide behind her when we come near! My customer will get a photo of this black boy cat when he can. =D We think the boy cat is desexed (one of his neighbours may have had the cat desexed, but we don't think she or anybody actually owns him - he is rather skittish but will eat cat biscuits left out). He is becoming gradually less and less afraid of humans, he even sat on the deck a couple of metres away (with the sliding door closed), watching me vacuum the lounge, and he hangs around his mum (who just came in for a pat today - she's become a lot tamer already, and may be teaching him that humans are ok) a lot, so I think there is hope that he could become a good pet. =D

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
