I like having my big feral Tom (we call him Tommy) coming around every day. I certainly don't try to run him off as they have a rough life out there. Several years ago I befriended one for a couple of years & we became great buddies. Unfortunately he lost his life to an idiot driver who didn't even stop to check. It was a very sad couple of weeks for me.

On my way to the pub tonight, I had a beautiful Border Collie dart right in front of my car. I panic braked & swerved hard right & just managed to miss him. I was surprised that my reaction time is still pretty good. Whew...
