I would love to call him my own, but he's the neighbourhood cat at my sister's house. I don't get over there often, but I was able to go over there yesterday on my way home from the cottage.

He was born to a feral mother and the neighbourhood instantly adopted him. The mailman keeps an eye out for stray/feral cats and gets them spay/neutered, then they all pitch in on either adopting them out and/or making sure they are up on their shots and fed.

This cat is absolutely adorable! Kind of like Tracy's Reilly, but a smaller version. I'd bring him home in a heartbeat, but he's an outdoor cat at heart and though others have tried, he won't be an indoor cat. So the neighbourhood looks out for him and he goes between a few houses and get fed, taken to the vet, gets a lion's cut in the summer and he's totally pampered. He looks like a King because he IS the King of that community.

Meet King - the one that has stolen my






He's also a lover of belly rubs!



And look at those eyes, ladies!



And this was him last winter.

He certainly is handsome. How wonderful of the community to care for him and the others as well. We need more folks like that.

OMG! Isn`t he handsome! I can see why you all like him so much.

I think it`s really sweet that the mailman and neighbours all look out for them

Oh my gosh, that is one be-ooo-tiful cat! I can definitely see why you love him. He's got the works, not to mention a whole bunch of mommies and daddies... man, that's gotta be the life.

He's beautiful and with such a kingly state about him, no wonder you call him that!
My little kitten, Tiger, has the same coat coloring. I wonder if he'll be almost a double to your King when he grows up?

Yeah, isn't it great? And what a great idea that a mailman looks out for stray and feral cats. That would be the obvious choice when looking for someone to keep a watch on neighbourhood cats since he/she walks the route each day!

He is sooo friendly and just wants to be with people. Too bad he doesn't like living on the inside since I would snatch him in a minute!
