This is a photo of one of the feral cats in Battery Park, New Castle, DE who have their own colony that is maintained by local people who come to feed them every day. He had such a belligerent look on his face that I had to capture it.

too bad he doesn't have a home as there are zillions of animals that are put down daily.where he lives is his king dome. (To everyone get your animals fixed to help the pet population, put an end to homeless pets)tim linville 13 Jan 2006

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity, For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity. You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square - But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there! :) LOL, I love Cats!Elton Houck 13 Jan 2006
