This is our first cat. His story goes something like this: His owners abandoned him in an apt. complex in Pacifica, CA so he lived out of garbage cans. He had a bad leg injury and was ever so hungry. Jose, being the kind soul that he is, went to Safeway and got some meow mix. He would shake the box and Humphrey came running. We finally gained his confidence and took him to the vet for his leg. Antibiotics cleared up the infection and after a $110 vet bill (1981 prices) he was ours for life. He was a special cat--had his own credit card. He bought his own cat supplies with it and paid his own vet bills. He lived a good life and yes, he was an honorary member of Jose's engineering union. Don't you just love his outfit? Actually, it wasn't his. He borrowed it from a teddy bear that I dressed. As it goes, Humphrey was the first of many cats. Hope you enjoyed the story.
Love the dressed cat! We could never do that to any of our cats!
