No, he wasn't as small as his runt sister Catty Patty when they were born but as an adult just out of kittenhood Bosco was not bulky or big - he was a gorgeous and lean small orange cat who always hung out with and was by his little sister, Catty Patty. OK, move forward a year or two. Great food, good water, TNR (trap, neuter, return), cat condos and some great beds in the garage have put some good bulk on the cats as they get older.

Nasty Mom is a big girl and is probably the grandmother and great-grandmother of every cat out back I think. The huge tom Sad Face made that happen. This evening after the 10th race at Philly I laid out lots of cat food for the cats outside and little Catty Patty went to a platter of Friskies. That's when Nasty Mom showed up to bull Catty Patty off her food and that's when Bosco raced over to bap Nasty Mom in the face with a paw swat. Nasty Mom went over to another platter to eat while Bosco ate with his sister. Every cat that shows up here catches a good meal at least twice a day. Plenty of food is laid out for everybody but I got a kick out Bosco standing up for his little sister.

Kudos to Bosco! NastyMom knew not to mess with him. She is a bully...but a survivor!

Nasty Mom was born here and was a good mother to Emily and Ginger. When they grew up Mom moved out. I'm just glad I got her trapped for TNR.
