This cat is built like a tank and has a lot of girlfriends - he's close to 20 pounds with a huge head and a bulky compact body. He's been wounded in some cat fights and he does not live out back. This is a wild animal.

So why is he posing for me? Well, some years back when he was young I pulled him out of a snow drift, dried him off, got him warm and loaded him up with food before sending him off on his way. He shows up now and again and I always lay out food for him. Sad Face will walk up to me and allow me to pet him and rub his back but he's a wild animal that understands that I mean him no harm. I have never seen a fang or a claw or heard a hiss when I had my hands on or close to Sad Face.



Sad Face has been known to calmly sit on the side steps of my home while hoping that I bring out a good meal for him. And I do.

Good name. He does look sad. He could be Trouble's "relative". Same coloring and body size...except Trouble is a "rich kid" with a "inheritance" and Sad face has to duke it out on the street
NO doubt, you have helped his health with decent food sans bugs and other toxic stuff when he has to forage both food and water.
