My next door neighbor had a cat. She inherited it when she bought the house. It had been abandoned by the previous owners. She spoiled that cat. But he had lived off the land so long that he killed every rodent in sight. That's how he had survived on his own.

I'm not really a cat person. But I liked that cat. He was tough.

That cat wouldn't go near me for about 5 years then one day he just walked up to me and meowed. I couldn't believe it. After that he was my buddy. It only took 5 years.
