Buddy the FIV formerly homeless tomcat, today among the weeds

[Voice for Peace]

He is having the last laugh, getting chubby with thick new fur. His roving days are over but still he laughs, and yawns.

1. He's looking good.

Grandma, what big teeth you have!!!! Looks to me like he is ready to sneeze. Must be all that grass pollen.

So glad he has a home and is very well taken care of.....look at that pretty boy!

8. Somehow I'm managing to keep feeding him.

He eats more than all the other cats combined. HUGE appetite.

9. These strays always seem to be like that.

I have adopted some strays, and they just cannot seem to get enough to eat. Feast or famine is the life they knew, so appreciate the feast while it lasts.

3. "get off my lawn!"

Now there's a contented kitty.

4. I like to think he's laughing

Looks like a lions yawn from one of the nature shows.

5. That's not a tomcat, that's a panther

and those aren't weeds, they're his jungle, and he's the king.

6. that's sort of how my other cats see him.

He's probably twice their weight, and very muscular, big.
They are skeeeeered of him.

7. Here is one of his offspring, we've named him Oliver.

He shows up every night along with another female kitten
and slightly older female. Probably his mom and sister
and I think Buddy is his father, judging by the familiarity
and affection between them.

I can only assume Buddy led them all to my house to
get food. All of them were rounded up and neutered
by the wonderful local group who looks out for the
homeless cats.

Buddy mostly is living on the porch, but these other
guys only show up at dinnertime. The female kitten
looks exactly like a miniature unscarred version of
Buddy. This little guy above is fluffy. I was calling him
Lil Foo.

But now he is Oliver: "please sir, may I have more?"

10. There is a kitty hobo sign

that says "a nice person lives here". A neighbor has been feeding the stray cats for years, and every time a new cat shows up, they show up at her house. Lucky for me, since that would have been me if it weren't for her having done this forever.

Oliver is a cute one too. Glad that they were all rounded up and fixed. Good for you and good for that group that does this.

You can see his clipped ear, that's how the TNR folks mark them.
