Ah, one additional note - Mister P. escaped from the pen - he was not allowed his freedom, he escaped and came to us.
We learnt this when the guy that had him originally saw him and said "That's my cat!" Then we learnt the tale of his early days.
Needless to say, we disabused him of any notion...
I am in no way a religious person. Perhaps agnostic in brief moments of weakness. The kind of person who believes that faith without proof is nothing more than self-deception. I do not begrudge others the comfort of their faith - whatever it may be - but not for me. Thanks.
That said, let me...
