The cat who came in from the cold

I encounted a large, scrawny tuxedo cat outside my building one really cold night in Nov 2011. He wanted to come inside but was extremely cautious- he looked like he was a dumped house cat.i fed him almost every night for approximately 4 months all the while putting up posters to find out if he belonged to anyone. I finally picked him up one rainy evening without any resistance and brought him immediately to my vet. I brought him home after someone who "adopted" him brought him back and the vet called me to come and pick up "my" cat. I named him Thor after the comic book warrior-my first boy cat- he's become my constant shadow, resident love bug and all around wonderfully affectionate cat. Seriously, he doesn't leave me alone - he can be a bit of a bully towards my 2 girls at times but they all tolerate each other. I knew he was mine when he entered my house and breathed a sigh of relief?! To top it all off - the black smudge on the bottom of his chin is in the shape of a heart! Yes, I picked up a sweetheart.
