So happy for you!I don't have a thread about Captain, but he'd been on the streets three times in the past few years, and taken to or found by the same shelter, just down the street a mile or so from us. The shelter didn't say much except that the last time, in December, they called his owner and she didn't ever come to get him.
We were thinking about a bonded pair, a little younger, but when I saw the video of him, that was pretty much that.
He's any where from 7 to 9 years old, likes to exercise his claws in the carpet instead of on the sisal or other scratchers, is a bit of a door darter, and wants to go out to do his business. (We're not letting him out til the weather gets better and I can see how he behaves when he's outside in a harness).
None of these quirks is a deal breaker to us. I keep asking him how in this great big wide world did he end up on the street.
He is the biggest lover cuddler sweet boy I could ever have imagined. He's funny, a talker, fetches his paper ball, isn't a very picky eater, doesn't miss the box, and checked out as healthy.
He's basicallywonderful

Came face to face with a raccoon this morning at 3:30am. I was walking out to my car to leave for work when I saw the lid to the garbage can lift up and a raccoon poked his head out. He looked at me and I looked at him. We both stopped in our tracks. I quickly hit the "open door" on my key fob. I had to turn my back to the raccoon to get to my car but luckily he stayed in the can just looking at me.
