My name is Joseph. I was born on Klipheuwel Farm in 2004. I made friends with another cat in the neighbourhood, Murdoch. He really was sweet. He told me about this tasty Hills food that his adopted owner, Neville, gave him. He invited me to come and have some. I wasn't so sure because I didn't trust humans. But then I was so hungry one day, I followed Murdoch into his owners caravan. Neville was there but he didn't do anything. He just sat still so he wouldn't scare me. And I have never tasted such delicious food! Murdoch was very lucky to be given Hills. Here's the first picture Neville took of me, I was getting ready to run for my life.
But then Murdoch discovered that there were some real nice mice across the road. I warned him that the traffic was bad. And then one day he was tragically killed by a car. Neville was devastated when he found him. I still visited to get some Hills which Neville continued to give. I started getting used to him. Then one day he touched me. It felt so nice, but it was scary and I ran away. I wasn't sure whether to go back for me Hills, but I liked it so much that I returned. Neville touched me again and this time I stayed. The touch became a stroke and it felt so good and suddenly I was purring! A few days later Neville picked me up. Wow! That was terrifying. But also felt so good and I started purring again.
So it was that I adopted Neville and he became my owner. He really loves me so much. I sleep on
his bed most nights and cuddle up to him. I am now getting so fat on Hills!
