So happy to find this forum. We are country dwellers and have a lot of cats, roughly a baker's dozen are permanent, and we always have one or two who come around for a meal or two, and then move on.
Our neighbors down the road, terrible pet owners, bring home calico cats and put them out to live off the land and breed freely. One of them adopted us (I put food out for her - silly me), and after time dropped a few litters around our property. We brought them in, weaned them, altered and vaccinated them, and rehomed them. Eventually we got tired of the trouble and expense, and had the calico spayed. She's now ours, as well as a lot of her "kids."
Bubba is the first of Callie's kids to adopt us. I stepped outside one icy evening and found him sitting on the step. We brought him in, and the rest is history.
I was surprised when Bubba was diagnosed with diabetes a couple of months ago. He's always been pretty active - he's quite a chaser of shadows and flittin' things that sneak through and opened door. His dx has resulted in a lot of research that led us here.
