There was this feral tomcat that use to stop around every night and I'd feed him lunchmeat ends and scraps. One day last spring he showed up really badly torn up. He kept showing up but he was looking worse and worse and he wouldn't let anybody near him. About 6 months ago he disappeared and I figured for sure he had died.
I walked out on the porch a couple of minutes ago and guess who was there and looking pretty good,,,,,
He's out there now having a feast of lunch meat and sausage :)
