Twenty-four years ago, a feral black cat was trapped at the SPCA and sterilised. She then stayed around, remained in good health, and was no trouble at all. She was a reserved cat and not easy to pat, but she made friends with a peacock, and together they would ‘roost’ in a tree at night.
Then the peacock went off to live at a mosque where such birds are sometimes kept to roam around and are valued for their beauty.
