Oh, and I almost forgot....
Here is my best non fish buddy, with whom I share my humble home. He enjoys our fine finned friends too! :ezpi_wink1:
His name is Bandit. He was a rescue, born into a feral city cat population in Washington D.C.. I found him after Hurricane Isabel went through in mid Sept 2003. He was approx 4 weeks old. No mom to be found anywhere, we think she was killed in the storm , probably by flooding. No litter mates anywhere to be found either. Just him, wet, ragged, and alone barely peeking above the 4" high grass of my friends unmowed lawn. He weighed in at a whopping 6 ounces, was COVERED in fleas, and fit entirely in the palm of my small hand. Vet said he was malnourished ( he was skin and bones) and most likely the runt of his litter. He will be 5 years old this coming August of 2008, is about 10lbs of lean, supermodel kitty muscle, and is still smaller than most average adult cats, but in 110% most excellent heath! And MAN on MAN is he ever one hell of a talker, and a bit of a SPAZ too. Hes definately still got the "wild" in him, and I think some of that will always be there, since he is a "wild" feral cat. And yes, his eyes are a stunning, bright Atlantic Sea Green.
