JUST over a year ago, a well-kept black and white male cat walked into my life. 

As I have two elderly female cats, he was not made very welcome, but although he seems quite bright, he would not take no for an answer. 

He has never appeared to be a stray as he is in good condition and I just thought he was one of those animals with several homes. 

Over the months he has settled more and more with us, to the dismay and horror of my own two cats.

Finally, I borrowed a scanner from my vet and found that he has a chip, but there has been no response from the phone number. 

Can anyone help me with more information about this cat please? Does he have another home? Is he living with us, but also with someone else? 

I don’t wish to abandon him but it would help to know more. He is a young adult cat, black and white with two short socks at the front and two long socks on his rear legs. 

I called him Socks but his chip says his name is Pickle. Do you know him?
