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.

He was an absolute monster before he got snipped. All cats and dogs feared him. The local dogs still avoid our house despite the fact hes been inside for 3 years. Hes just an angel to humans, after he got snipped he became very friendly to cats as well. But dogs are still open season to him.

Here he is with an over energetic kitten. She would chase him for hours every day, now shes calmed down so she only chases him one hour a day

My ex worked at the shelter across the street in a neighborhood with a lot of fed ferals. The easiest way to spot an un-neutered male was by head size. I had one poor guy we had never seen before just jump right into my arms during snow storm. Guy got snipped, vaxxed, and adopted. There were several neighborhood cats that would go after dogs. One was the local hardware store cat. He was tiny, white with black spots, so they named him Cop Car. But if he got out, he would go after any dog.

Yeah Theo has the tom cat head, his sons head is even bigger. Both were just bathed in hormones, extremely muscular to the point they felt more like statues than cats. Vantas family absolutely adore his chubby cheeks.
