Not always… we adopted an outdoor cat, who gets regular food from us and a place on the couch during cold winter nights, but otherwise still prefers outdoors… and she is currently somewhere around 8-9 years old.
Not disagreeing with your assessment regarding the boyfriend though! 😉

😂 I was just going to reply that he sounds like the homeless cat that decided to move in with us… no money, but likes goodies, scratched our furniture, killed a few birds, but oh so cute… And yes, we were stupid enough to adopt her 😉

Not entirely new… some years back we were sitting in a corner dominated by Rossi fans in Assen… he crashed out and everybody just packed up and left, despite the fact that the race was not finished yet…

The lady three houses down from us put the whole deco up in her garden, and it makes the street do much brighter… so yes, why not!?
