Thanks for sharing the story and picture of Jake. He sounds and looks so much like our tuxedo, Norman, who similarly loves to visit throughout the neighbourhood. Bravery and sweetness must be tuxedo traits. CHeck out the story of Simon the Cat, the only feline war hero:

With Remembrance Day coming up (in Canada) Simon's is just one story among many to remember. Enjoy!

Tuxedos rule!
