There'll have to be a warning on all future cat nip 'deal bags', "Do not consume if you are operating steam locomotives"

You are soft
I am not "soft" - I am actually the most cynical nasty garage owner you will ever meet.
But there is something about an independant stray feral yard cat that "touches my heart" - the reliability of them turning up at the same time daily for food. Same greeting from them - same affectionate expressions of trust. Like clock work - winter or summer. It is the routine that amazes me. Then fiding somewhere safe in your workshop to sleep thru the day - safe from harm - truly relaxing.
It is hard life being a stray cat - cold winters - cars - dogs - foxes - infection - territorial battles with bigger cats.
Everybody/everything needs a friend - someone reliable about them.
"It's a two way deal" - "a two way interaction"
Hold this thought "maybe the yard cat giving me more, than I am giving him"....?

He's not like the stray at my hotel that just savaged my hand when I tried to make a fuss of him, he got about 6 jabs in before I knew what was going on
Blood everywhere
That was about an hour after getting smacked in the eye with a tennis ball thrown by my son, more blood from my nose and eyebrow

There's something satisfying about being trusted.

Barras continues to recover from his battle damage.
As some point he'll remember he is not as young as he used to be.
His age is unknown, but he was a mature Adult cat when he started on the railway on December 2017.
Barney continue to keep an eye on his Dad.
You'll have to teach him the art of growing old gracefully.

Barras will probably go down fighting to protect his own.
A Lurcher nearly killed him a few years ago but somehow he survived.
For a Tom Cat he is very gentle to those he regards as friends but very fierce to those he regards as a threat to his own.
Unfortunately there are some who want to show him "who is boss" by setting their dogs on him.
