Walleye

Tiger is starting to look pretty weak. He came to the step for a few bites to eat [View all]

I’m really worried he may be winding down. He is 16 years old and has lived outside all his life. This picture was taken last week when he came inside. I’m gonna try and bring him inside later if it gets hot out.

16 years for an outside feral cat is amazing, most don't live that long KS Toronado Saturday #18
