Vincent

This is my cat Vincent. I named him that because he only has one ear (Van Gogh, ear, you know). Our rugged old tom cat Butch (R.I.P.) brought him home one day during the end of a harsh winter. Hence the one frost-bitten ear. 

   
For some reason, he claimed me as His Human and so I took him with me when I moved into my current house now. 
   I fully expect he is one of Butch's offspring. They have the same mannerisms and stuck together. Butch was about half stray and half house cat. Preferred to do his business outside
(a litter box was beneath his dignity), and Vincent is much the same way.

   So much as I didn't want another animal after my Collie died, I have a cat, or the cat has me whichever way you look at it!
