My - very discreet - inquiries to those actually living in the sheltered housing of the SLDC and County Council variety - all over South Lakeland - of course - reveals that in practice the system is totally unfair and surviving very well!
Old people do manage to keep cats in their rooms in spite of 'regulations' (those in cumbria housing don't have iron fast restrictions) with a blind eye being cast, though they do worry of neighbours complaining and ratting on them. Those that feel less courageous are glad to offer an occasional lap and a stroke and we have some sensitive wardens.
Human nature is alive and well and up to tricks as ever.
Sigh of relief.
Shame for those with the search light shining their way - maybe a diversion could be created - Isn't there a lot of noise coming from those yobbos down the street? - My, look there's a patch of damp up in that corner - Did you see that bull finch and hear that owl. I'm sure that scratching is coming from a mouse - isn't it lucky we've a cat next door (Nudge-nudge , Wink-wink)
