Cantankerous Cat

This is Grey Cat, a stray that has lived under our house for about 3 years. He usually keeps his distance but the stars aligned this afternoon and our other 2 cats were nowhere to be seen so he happily (ish) sat on my lap for a few minutes (claws were digging in something terrible). It was all good for about 3 minutes when he got sick of it, hissed and tried to jump off but his claws were caught in my lycra shorts. A gentle extraction was required and fortunately he didn't panic and rip me to shreds. I've brightened up the image to the max to brighten his day a bit..

Off to the test tonight...Go the All Blacks and good luck to Tony Woodcock on his 100th match!!!
