Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?
This is our rescue cat Tom - our tom cat.

He is an outdoor cat and sleeps either in our barn or shed or porch. He is built for the outdoors and is a really tough guy. When he walks to you he struts slowly and puffed up as if to say, "Look out, here I come!" He acts like he doesn't enjoy a good scratch or pet, but we know he does like it.

When he catches a mouse, bird, chipmunk, bat, frog, snake, little critter, he leaves it dead at the door by the garage so we have to walk right by it. Usually in the morning its laying there as if to say from Tom, "thank you for giving me shelter, here is a special thank you present just for you." And the sight of the dead animal is so gross, but we all get a good laugh out of that.

Our homestead wouldn't be the same without Tom.
