July 7, 2010 Roundface takes a sunbath

2010-08-12T13:22:00.000-07:00

"Roundface" is enjoying a nap outside. He is an old fella, but still enjoys going out every now and then. His front leg (the one he is dangling) has been broken and so has his tail - I "coerced" him into living with us when he was 1-3 years old and he already had those injuries. He was a true feral cat. . . took almost a year before he would let us see him eat the food we put out. If we were there, he would run back in the woods until we went inside. . . don't get me started about how long it took for him to let us pet him! Now at 15 years old, he is a lap magnet!
