I thought I’d start a new thing and see how it goes: a Cat Photograph of the Day.
The name of this site notwithstanding, this place isn’t really about cats. It’s got almost nothing to do with cats, but I do have cats, and I do love cats, so why the hell not?
Here’s one of my Hector Pagoda. He enjoys sleeping in unusual places.
Hector is 10 years old. I got him as a feral kitten, back when I lived in Dorchester, MA. There was a feral colony across the street and I guess he wandered over one day to our garden and got himself separated from the mama cat. My housemate actually caught him (after I had tried and was unsuccessful) and I ended up keeping him. At that time he had one of his canine teeth growing into his lip; it was all infected and really gross. When I (TMI alert!) was able to get all the pus out, there was a visible hole in his lip where the tooth had been. The vet got him ship-shape, he took about a week to tame up, and he’s been with me ever since. He’s a very good boy.
