Cece showed up as a cat that had been through multiple fosters. The idea was he would come here and we'd pair him up with another cat that was never getting better and not being adoptable. The two of them could be partners as barn cats. Many months later he is completely domesticated and not going anywhere. He is now very vocal about making sure he gets his share of kitchen scraps when I'm cooking. He is very partial to raw chicken and pork but will not turn down some cheddar.

Cats love cheese. Their digestive systems also can't handle it (some better than others), and it leads to lots of farting and cat litter disasters, and they get fat. They can tolerate it in small amounts but not too often and not too much. Just a heads up so you don't unknowingly overfeed them like I did and the above happens and you have to scrape poo sludge out of the litter box and put them on a year long diet. :)

He gets exactly one shred of cheddar and no more than that. We are hyper vigilant on everyone's weight. If you saw him you'd think he was underweight.

The only overweight one right now is Papita. I call her sausage. Wife calls her potato. She was feral TNR that we kept along with her kids. All together they were four orange girls. She used to be a tiny little momma. Now she is a sausage and still blaming the kinds even though she gained the weight long after they were weaned. I think she needs therapy before any diet plan will work.

Aw, he just needed the right person. Thanks for being that person. And thanks for being a person who shares all their nice pics and stories with the rest of us.

The little head bump gets me right in the heart.
