When a stray cat came and lived in our backyard, she had kittens.
Timmy was the runt of the litter. When she left, she left him.
Our cats adopted him. Quite specifically 'Tinker, an all Black male cat.
He cleaned him, would bring him food, and Timmy would follow him everywhere.
Sadly his adopted father eventually died from illness while he was middle-aged (13 years old).
'Tinker's older brother by a few years then took care of him till he died of old age at the age of 19.
Timmy still has me though, who he loves to sleep on my bed and eat my food even though he should eat his food.
