Last September, my husband was letting our dog out to do his business when he noticed a stray cat trying to eat grass. He asked me to bring a bowl of cat food & water out to him to feed him. This poor cat was so hungry, yet had no fear of him, our dog or even our mail carrier.
After he ate, I went out to see if I could get a picture to post on a few local lost & found pet sites, when he decided to walk into my house and get comfortable. From the first moment, I saw him I knew his name was going to be Patch, simply because of his patterning. When he came into the house, I realized he only had one eye and an old injury to his hip.
While my husband was the first one to take care of him, Patch has decided I am his person, and he never wants to leave my side. Even though at the time we already had six cats, there was no way I could get rid of him, because we knew he had no home to go to.
Unfortunately, we are down to only three cats and Patch is still with us and still thinks that I am his person.
