Jan 1st, 2007 - First night home
The sores he came home with - suspected ringworm - really some sort of sores
Tonight
Eating the feather toy
His squinty eyes
He fights with the other cats - he pees where he shouldn't - he's a piglet & will nail you if you touch his food - oh and he bites fingers (never learned bite inhibition!). Vet puts him at 15-18 years, leaning towards 18. He told the shelter he was probably 10-13 in hopes we could adopt him out. I would've just brought him home right off the bat if he'd told us how old he really probably was! Squishy was yet another stray no one claimed. He now lives as a predominantly outdoor cat here, but better than him being euthanized (still far from ideal).
I can only hope more people will give senior cats a chance. He's made me one very lucky meowmy.
