my other cat is a badass
This is Moon. He’s Cosmo’s brother from the same mother. Litter mates. But polar opposites. Cosmo is big and fluffy and weighs over twice as much as Moon. Moon is skinny and scrappy. Cosmo is lounging in the flower bed pondering philosophical problems. While Moon is in the driveway, on the sidewalk or on the car staring down dogs, holding his ground, arching his back, puffed out tail, hissing and bared teeth. All nine pounds of him defending the block from intruders. Many neighborhood dog walkers cross the street as they approach the house, just to avoid Moon.
Moon will let you pet him but only when he says it’s OK. Sometimes he’ll take a swipe at my leg as I pass him, drawing blood. When I ask him why he did that, he says, “just for fun. just because I can”
Several weeks ago Moon came home with a very large wound on his side. After a few hours in emergency surgery and numerous stitches on a huge scar, he survived. He had to stay inside for weeks, wearing a cone. He was not happy.
You can see in the photo his left side is still shaved down as is his left front leg. But he’s happy to be an outdoor/indoor cat again.
Moon is a badass.
Cosmo is a fluffy stoner.
