As a cat rescue-er, I'm always delighted to read on this page when someone adopts a stray rather than a breed. Your boy had a rough start, but because you found each other, he enjoys the wonderful, loving home all kitties deserve.
What gorgeous green eyes your Ian has! I chuckled at the various names he answers to -how is it that we end up giving our kitties so many silly names? (I have at least 4 names for my guy).
Congratulations, Ian, on finding your lifelong, loving home and for being today's Cat of the Day!!
