Unlike other nations where one can see strays (cats and dogs), in UK they are chipped and are considered property by law. So stray cats or dogs do not exist in the UK. I found this aspect of legality of domestication where Life itself comes under the broad classification of being property quite interesting. So like poetry or a beautiful Wes Anderson film it does take a leap of faith to relinquish the logic of a our immediate banal context (of positive intentions) and imagine a group of feral cats living in Billingsgate Market away from human gaze.
