He had a bob tail and no teeth, he had been bounced around between shelter & foster, adopted out and returned before he came to us. So happy we could give him his forever home even though we had him less than two years. He was my boy and I miss him every day. He was just happy to be there, wherever that was. Even our grumpy older female cat seemed to love him.
Aww. Well I think it's very important to remember all those belly rubs you were able to provide. He must have felt safe and loved for that.
