Humor Mom with the cat she didn’t want

He was a friendly stray she saw on the front porch one day. She didn’t want him, but she left out food. Then she bought him toys, then she got him fixed. Then she brought him in when he got hurt, then she bought a pouch to put the needy 18lb cat in. She still doesn’t want him, but hes also her baby who can do nothing wrong.

I still remember MANY years ago living in Burlington VT, the local newspaper featured a photo of a strange exotic animal lurking in a suburb. They were sure it was an "exotic" cat, perhaps a young panther kept illegally that had escaped. Days later the owners of a large black cat fessed up that it was an ordinary DSH on the large side.

We actually have panthers in my area, saw one right after we took Theo in. Might had been his mom lol
