I am hoping that I will be able to keep him (I think its a him) becuase I have always loved cats and always wanted one. My mom just never let me have one. She seems to really like this one, so hopefully she will. He is a striped tabby that is brown and black and white. He also has a tiny bit of orange on him, and his belly is white with a little patch in the middle. I will try to get a picture of him sometime if I can with my brother's digital camera. I think next time I will try opening the door so he can come inside to feed him. Ill let you know how it goes. Today it is real rainy outside so he probably wont come, he is probably somewhere keeping out of the rain. Yes, I do think that he could have been someone's pet at one point since he is so friendly with people. He also likes to rub on my legs after a nice meal.
Thanx for your advice and support.
