Incorrigible

I came back from running various errands to find two blokes waiting outside the house next door, waiting for the owner (it's a rental house, currently empty, so they had an appointment to do some work). They were engaged on the highly important activity of making a fuss of Ish. He had apparently walked up to them and demanded attention. They were both utterly delighted by him: one was sitting on the ground so Ish could clamber over him, and the other was bending down to stroke him. I was asked lots of questions about him, too. They stayed like that, worshipping himself, until the owner arrived -- about 15 minutes. Ish then sauntered home nonchalantly.
This is Ish all over. I regularly see him mug people walking on the nature reserve and he visits most of my neighbours. But I do wish I'd had my camera earlier: two big stripping guys busy adoring one compact cat.
