Oh Trouble isn't fat. He is about as skinny as can be. He hardly slows down to eat! And yes Catnapper you have him beat there! *L*

We found him on the side of 322 at the end of August. He was just lying there in meatloaf position while traffic whizzed by at 70 miles per hour. I waited until traffic was clear and then called to him. He ran across the highway towards me just yelling his little heart out. We took him to the vet and had him checked over and tested and he didn't even have a flea. Not a worm, ear mite or any other parasite. He was around 8 weeks old at the time.

The circumstances have me very suspicious that he wasn't an accidental breeding kitten. Someone bred this cat in their home with a well taken care of momma kitty and then dumped him off for whatever reasons. Could be because of his biting. Or perhaps he is just a cast off from some breeder. I just don't know. I just have never seen a stray or barn cat kitten that didn't have SOME type of parasite before. I think he looks a tad like a Bengal/tabby cross. My vet thinks an Ocicat/tabby cross. I really don't think he is a purebred anything. I will have to get a newer pic of him posted but right now our memory card is full and we want to get the pics on a DVD if we can. But here is one of his earlier pics....but it doesn't show his incredibly spotting down his sides.

Actually you can see a little of his spotting....it is just getting more pronounced and he is looking more regal as he gets older. This is him with Deirdre who is about 10 pounds...at the time this was taken he was only about 3 pounds or so.
