This is the cat that inspired me to write the story ‘One Eared Tom’.  I assume he is a stray cat.  If you look really closely you’ll see that one of his ears is missing.  I am always intrigued by this cat.  Didn’t notice the ear the first few times I saw him.  He lounges at my car porch every now and then when there is no one around.   His favourite spot would be my husband’s motorbike seat.  Left some scratch marks on it too.  Perhaps it’s way of saying “This is mine!”  The thing about him is he doesn’t hurry away when he sees us but walks away as calm as a cat can be.  My husband and I agreed to call him Tom.  Hence the title of the story.
