WOW, What a story. Bowser and zippy-kat are both so lucky that you where there for them. What a big heart you have.

I wish I lived closer, I'd take him in a second. Old age, not house broken etc etc has never been a problem for me. Odie was the same way only adding into it abused also. For the love of a dog you work with what you have, to give them the best.

(Haven't done a KAT-test, yet.)
I would assume he's pass a KAT-Test, didn't he live with a cat, Midnight, right?

If *I* have anything to say about him - he's NOT going somewhere to sit in a cage and "hope" for an adoption...
This made my day to hear. No cages for Bowser.......Yea!!!!!!!!! The thought of him sitting in a cage all day waiting to be adopted was killing me. It was so good to hear you say that.
now pop him in a cage and fly him to Florida.........I'll be at the airport waiting. lol I wish.
