What a pleasant surprise! I stayed late at work tonight to try and get caught up on things - including PT. And it was all worth it because I got to enjoy another great Fister story. I, too, agree with Edwina's Sec. Not all kitties are sweet and cute, and Fister is certainly none of those (I remember the pictures of those claws - ouch!) but yet I would love to meet him, and would be honored to have a cat like him. His past only makes his present more interesting, and thankfully we have John to give us all the wonderful details of both.

John, another wonderful story, but it seems in every story you lose flesh sooner or later. I can only picture your arms and hands as one big Fister scar.
