After seeing dtw's post, I finally persuaded Archie to sit still enough to take his photo!Archie is a bit special. We adopted him and his brother Maximilian last year as they were about the same age as our remaining young cat Vic, who had sadly last his brother Bob in a RTA and seemed to be pining (ah the folly of naming cats as pairs...!). As soon as they arrived, Archie seemed to settle in well, but then managed to escape after only a few days, last seen legging it down the back garden! We did not see him for nearly three months; contacted the previous owner in case he turned up there, vets etc; no sign of him. We feared the worst- but he suddenly turned up at our next door neighbours after three months of feral living, turns out she had been feeding him intermittently as she thought he was one of our other cats (they are all ginger toms)!He wandered inside the house as if he had never been away, ate some food, and has stayed with us ever since! Obviously decided we are not that bad as a family after all! The vet had to remove a tick from his face (yuk), and he was a bit thinner (he was huge when we got him), but apart from that had survived reasonably well. Toms eh... ;D
Ginger Toms, grea cats. Does he do the big head rub? Love that. The folly of naming cats in pairs is so real. My mum called her 2 tom kittens Jasper and Carrot. Only Jasper survives!
