View attachment 22818 View attachment 22819 View attachment 22816 I have an ornery North American Doodlebug. Name is Rufus. Thought she was a boy when I found her living all alone in an overgrown vacant lot as a feral kitten 12 weeks old. Got her fixed/all shots. Healthy girl. Had her 2 years now. Turned into a great indoor/outdoor kitty. More like roommates than pet and owner. She does her thing, I do mine, we take care of each-other. Hates boy kitties-defends the house and yard tooth and nail, literally. Tried making her an indoor only cat, but memories of her feral childhood just simply will not allow her to be content indoors all the time. Rainy days or cold weather-she goes out long enough to do her business, and comes right back in, much like a dog would. Warm weather-she goes out at 7am and comes back in round noon for a quick bite, then back out til around nightfall for supper, cuddles, a good daily brushing, and then sleeps at my feet.
She is my life.
