I can't speak for his relative but I would suspect that he could have held his own in a fight with any cats.

Stealing gnomes is a big thing in Australia...but a fun thing we do. If you are planning on going on some travels for a few months or years..you nick a gnome from a strangers garden, then send the owners a postcard from the gnome from every place you visit..then on your return, you place the gnome back. Lucky I never did that, since my two year travels turned into 13!Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444757419149336359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-78650718077794661892009-03-09T20:10:00.000+00:002009-03-09T20:10:00.000+00:00Named after St Ignatious Loyola of course.
