TheBoyfriend™ and I took a friend and her friend out to see our property yesterday. At one point I mentioned that there was a fairly large feral cat population out there and that was where Hobbes had come from. Asked by the friend of our friend what was a “feral cat,” I defined it as a “wild cat,” at which point he seemed to get very nervous. Imagine his relief when I pointed out one of the feral cats and he realized he was not endanger of getting eaten by a cougar.
