The image in the heading is not one of our three cats, just a distant ancestor. This is PB, he came to us from a Prison Farm outside Lake Jackson, Texas. We were unable to obtain his record, though I am sure it was quite extensive even though he was just a kitten.
Never adopt a cat with rings on its tail! His first act of endearment was to open the fireplace hearth, waller in the soot and take a nap on the wife's 3 piece sectional handed down from her grandmother and recently upholstered. He is independent, cantankerous and has adopted my wife as his favorite.
