He is a super looking boy just luv his ear furnishings & whiskas,give him a cuddle & kiss from me....X

Thank you for the information. He was actually starved for 2 days. The first day he managed to find the food bowl that was hidden on top the refrigerator behind the coffee grinders and ate just 15 minutes before he was to be taken in.

We had to repeat the whole ordeal again for the next day.

He now likes to hang out on top the fridge and the picture was taken the night before he was chopped so maybe he was protecting his family jewels.
