Having fewer stray cats in Europe nowadays probably helps keep the

could.
..........Huh? Bubonic plague comes from fleas on rats or other rodents.
Cats killed rats. Unfortunately cats can be killed by the plague too, so
things only got worse over time. The major factor of spread was the rats
on the ships, which transported it all over. And there already is bubonic
plague here popping up occasionally in AZ.

I am sure that there are some stray cats in the UK. I am waiting for one
to arrive to join Boyfriend (he came as a stray himself in 2003) No luck
yet. Never seen a stray cat here for years. Every cat I see is owned and
lives nearby.
Boyfie does not agree with the idea I have about finding another smelly
intact boy and transforming his life. He says he was not smelly ( he was
not)
He has no intention of sharing me. No way. I would really like to find
another boy like him. He's charming
