Cannop got up, turned his back on us and sat down again. I tried not to anthropomorphize cats but I was sure that he knew we were talking about him, and he didnt like it.
We fed him with a bottle in the first few weeks. We didnt think hed survive. But he did.
So if he wasnt wild, how did he get in the Forest?
I dont know. Maybe his mother was a runaway. Or maybe he was picked up by a bird or some sort of animal then dropped. It happens.
I bet he was wild, Jack said. Isnt that more likely?
Maybe. Cannops always been a bit stand-offish, like farm cats are.
