First pet of my life without scales...meet Doc...a stray

[KevinK]

Well, last week I was walking into work at 5AM on Monday just finishing up with the morning cigarette and black coffee when I heard a stray cat meowing and before I know it he was circling my feet and rubbing up against my legs. It was roughly 25 degrees out in central Wisconsin that morning and he was pretty cold. After hesitantly petting him I discovered he was very friendly. I picked him up and he instantly started purring.

I talked to my boss, and told him I was going to drop him off at the humane society. Well on the ride home I have to say he won my heart by trying to repeatedly climb on my lap and fall asleep so I decided there was no way I’d give him up given the rate of cats put down in shelters. Spent that night going on a cat shopping trip and calling vets to get his rabies, distemper, and neutering appointments. He is doing great and has since been fixed and vaccinated. He’s on the thin side at 7lbs and has been estimated to be about a year old....gained a full pound in a week a goes bonkers over his food.
