My family has taken in several lovely black and white cats over the years and I'm astonished to hear that certain cats are out of 'fashion'.
I'm not in a position to have one right now but I'll make a point of taking in another b/w moggy as soon as I can.
We could do something about the mice and rat problem if people used their common sense when disposing of rubbish. The amount of times I see rubbish sacks dumped on the ground by half empty bins...I despair.
