Indoor/outdoor cats do not need to patrol their territory in order to find food when they are well fed. But domestic cats still, instinctively, patrol their ‘home range’ (the area they call home).

Note: historically the PM lives in the four-bedroom flat above No. 11 while the Chancellor, …
I have guessed the price of the gown but it is probably about right. Wait until the last second of the video to see it. The cat must treat the place where the fashion show is taking place as his home. It is outside. The cat is probably a community cat; semi-feral but quite …
