I was left with one by my youngest daughter maybe six years ago now. He's really warmed up to me quite a bit over that time, so I guess you can say he's mine now, because my wife is not a cat person at all and at time he likes to harass her and creep her out, as she hollers at me to come get him when he just goes to stare at her. He's been apart of the household for around 13 years now. He just goes about his business around here and pretty much has got it made. Goes to the vet when needed, has special expensive food so he doesn't get urinary infection anymore, as that cost a lot more to remedy. He spends most days outside and comes in around 9 o'clock at night. Cat's got a better life then me I could say.
