Thanks for bringing a smile to my heart.<br /><br />Having seen stray cats that I told myself weren't mine so I wasn't going to give them a "proper" name end up going through life with names like Mr. Fussy, Missy, and B.C. (Black Cat), I've decided that from now on they get proper names, whether they stick around or not! <br /><br />Give Buddy a little pet for me.cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-21168176204431940132009-07-12T13:28:46.243-07:002009-07-12T13:28:46.243-07:00This post almost made me cry--I'm glad Buddy&#...This post almost made me cry--I'm glad Buddy's on the mend. Years ago I went through something similar. I spent a year taming up mom's feral cat (she wasn't a cat person, had inhereted a kitten from a friend who'd died, & would just throw food out for it.) He turned out to be one of the best people I've ever known & although he died of cancer some years ago, I treasure the love he brought to my life.<br />Gads...I AM going to cry...Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-18734715170102803472009-07-10T22:09:27.931-07:002009-07-10T22:09:27.931-07:00Decent way to acquire a cat.

[nod] I'll bet Buddy's happy to have you all; if he did have a family, he obviously preferred you folks and there was probably a reason for that.<br /><br />One of ours, unimaginatively named "Panther" by the neighborhood kids, was a stray who ended up with us because the box said kids (including my little brother) had set up for him was in our yard and none of the other parents were willing to take him in when it became a matter of regular feeding and such. He was a great cat, lived a long time stalking through the neighborhood, and took over his new territory without much trouble when we moved.<br /><br />Another similarity:<br /><br /><i>now only favoring his paw when he wants an extra helping of wet food or a warm lap made available.</i><br /><br />When he was a few years old, Panther got an injured paw too. The vet said it looked like a small bullet wound; it was shortly after Christmas and we figured one of the jerkwad kids from the neighborhood behind the back fence got a new BB gun or something. :/ Anyway, Pan was limping all over the place and getting lots of pets and scritchies and treats for it. This went on for over a month. One day, I was with some friends and we pulled up to the house in a friend's car. Pan was streaking across the lawn doing about Mach 3, when suddenly he saw us. Screeching halt, and back to limp, limp, limp.... LOL! Tricksy brat had definitely figured out which side of his bread had liver paste on it. :D<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-57327776685212953642009-07-09T22:04:56.148-07:002009-07-09T22:04:56.148-07:00Great story.
