It's Pet Week at I Heart Faces

Blogworld, meet Velcro! I love him. He is 10 years old and was once a mighty warrior. He's gotten some battle scars over the last few years as he has defended his turf from the younger neighborhood cats. Back in the glory days, he could wander the streets and love on all of the people along his route. He loved our next door neighbor's greyhound. He would reach up, put his paws on the dog's shoulders and stretch. Fester loved Velcro because he let Velcro "hug" him.
Velcro got his name because as a kitten, he would latch onto your clothing and wouldn't let go. He loves people. He likes to eat stewed tomatoes, the dog's food and cantaloupe. I really do feed him cat food. He still hasn't quite forgiven us for getting a dog...four years ago. Secretly, I know he loves the dog.
Over the years he has left me many "gifts": Birds, moles, snakes, squirrels, mice, a rat and a potato. I still don't know where he found that potato. We had a kitty door once but got rid of it after he brought in a live bird, a live mouse and the rat. Thankfully, the rat was dead.
I find myself taking more pictures of Velcro these days because he is in the golden years of his life. I just know that when his time comes, he will see his old greyhound friend again and I'm sure they will hug as old friends do.
I know you probably can't see the cute iheartfaces blog button above. Their blog is going through some updates and some images are not available right now. I guess this is one of them. I don't want to wait for it to get fixed b/c I might miss the entry deadline. Don't worry, you can click on this link and go right on over to I Heart Faces to see all of the other cute pets.
