No...I no longer have any pets here in Spain....
I did have Rasta the Dog, who I rescued from a street in Cartagena, but he now lives in UK with one of my sons..
I do miss him..Rasta that is ..
But this morning as I was sitting in our lounge, sniffing the delicious cooking smells drifting from the kitchen...a bit like a 'Bisto Kid' ..I suppose,when I suddenly became concious of being watched...
I looked out of the window, and there sat on the railings where at least 20 sparrows...
Heck I Thought...!...I've forgotten to put their breakfast out for them...
So I had to rush into the kitchen ,and much to the disgust of my busy wife,I quickly chopped up a load of tasty integral bread...which they seem to love...
I placed their giant bowl outside , and within minutes all I could see was my fluffy friends white posteriors , as they tucked in to their food...
Then I thought ...Oh .. I haven't fed the cats down at the communal bins...so as a Christmas treat I emptied several tins of sardines onto a plastic plate, that I had rescued from a Lidl frozen pie, and toddled off down to the bins ...to see my feline friends...
It didn't take them long to devour their treat, so I retrieved my useful plastic plate..for use on another day, and walked off back home, leaving behind some very contented putty tats..licking their lips...
Then when I got home , my wife presented me with some bones and scraps to feed the several street dogs with, so off I went again to find my rather skinny four-legged friends...I didn't have to look very far..they found me....
What a busy morning I had...
And No I Don't have any Pets in Spain...!

I'm faithful and loving...I cuddle up and keep her warm..
I eat everything that she puts in front of me....

Re: I Don't Have Any Pets in Spain....
The 'word' must have got around our local cat community, as this morning there was twice as many cats hanging around the bins..I had to go back for more supplies....
And what a lovely sunny day it is here today, a little chilly , but clear blue sky and warm in the sun... .

Re: I Don't Have Any Pets in Spain....
Unfortunelty most town halls in Andlaucia have put laws in place and fines of up to €1,500 for anyone caught feeding ferral cats. Thought you should know just in case you get caught!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Merry Christmas and hope you all have a great new year.

Thanks Ian,
I was aware of this, however even plenty of the local people feed them in our village, perhaps the Mayor is an animal lover...
I'm always being told that I shouldn't feed needy animals for one reason or another...But I will never stop ..
Just fed my sparrows....they sit waiting for me to feed them every morning...someone will now tell me I can't do that... I suppose...
