My mom found him in 2007 outside the house. I had just lost a cat and didn’t really want another one. I bathed him since he was filthy dirty. I put him in a covered terrace I had at that time, but he didn’t want that. He wanted to be in the house and meowed his opinion very loudly! He’s is a Hemingway cat and extremely auditory. This one is a full time as far as personality. He steels food from the other cats, opens lids from the pans, and any meat from the small oven. He’ s left me without lunch many times!
