Swiss tabby

Last evening I took the kids for a walk around our village. It was freezing cold but I wanted to make it a regular routine for us here just like how we used to do it in Laos after dinner to keep a bit of the fat away. When we crossed the park where we normally went for our weekend ice skate, we were followed by this little tabby out of nowhere. It was quite a strange coincidence as my kids were just talking about how difficult it was to see cats here when it suddenly appeared. The cat followed us almost 1 km on our track up till we reached our home. The cat appeared tame and used to human contact so my first thought was it must have an owner. But it was clearly looking for food. My two little sons were begging me to keep it. I told them their mum won't like the idea of keeping pets in the house. When we reached home, I told mrs about our encounter and I took some leftover crab pate in the fridge and fed the cat. Obviously it finished it very quickly. I told the kids we can't keep the cat in the house and told them that the cat must belong to someone and he or she must be frantically looking for it by now. My kids obviously didn't buy that as I wanted to let the cat out and it refused to go. I told the kids the cat could stay only for one night. So last night the cat slipped into the duvet and slept with my two kids. I took this photo this morning when my boys were still asleep.
