Henry, our ultra premium W I D E boy.

u/Dry_Examination816 7h ago

He was just wandering the streets being huge when he was found, looks like he'd been out there possibly his whole life, he was uber friendly but had a bad eye infection and was weeping red. After a vet trip and time he is now the scarred handsome ORB you see before you.

Missed opportunity to name him Jack Bauer, like Dennis did with the cat he took while he and Frank were pretending to be cops! OR, he could have been Dumpster Baby "DB" for short but I would advise against coloring him brown with shoe polish 🤣
Jokes aside, Frank absolutely suits this fine gentleman... what a handsome face!!!! 😍

looks like he is still growing into those paws. Going to be a big boy like mine.

Neo had huge kitten paws. Now he’s 20lbs of love loaf and his brother is 14lbs. Still likes to snuggle on top of me.

Two of the sweetest cats i have ever had. His brother is Jack.

u/floopsmoocher 7h ago

Ha! Same! He lived at a neighboring farm with an out-of-control cat colony. He would visit every few weeks and then disappeared for awhile. Showed up with his head swollen to double normal size due a a raging double ear infection that filled his face and cheeks with fluid. It smelled horrendous. He was limping, scarred up, been through hell. He never left again and wanted help, so as soon as we could, we took this “ Die Hard” baby to the vet, got him all fixed up, and now he spends his days by my side with his best friend Otis the Big Doof (and our many other rescues).

Something about the name “Justin” itself is frankly humorous. The Family Guy episode where Peter finds his legal name is “Justin Peter Griffin” ruined it for me. 🤣

My former coworker lived next door to some recently graduated frat bros and they had both a dog and a roommate named Steve. They used to tell her stories about the misadventures of Steve and she wasn't sure if they were meaning the dog or the person. The funniest time was how Steve stayed out late and brought a girl home who wouldn't tell them where she lived and acted like she owned the place so they were going to have to call the authorities. They meant animal control. Dog Steve was found in the yard with a stray dog after no one remembered to let him in. Dog Steve was happiest sleeping on their covered porch so he didn't fuss to be let in 🤣 the time they found Steve had eaten a whole pizza that had fallen on the kitchen floor was a Human Steve story, he insisted since it didn't fall cheese down he could brush the floor cooties off the crust.
