10. Beautiful kitty!

We had a lovely Maine coon cat for 14 years, until he passed. He showed up under our deck, and I started feeding him. He was homeless, no collar or chip. I eventually got his trust, took him to the vet for check up and shots, and brought him inside to live with our other cat, dog, and the rest of the family. He was very timid for a long time and didn’t want to come downstairs, but he slowly got adjusted to all of us and became a loving member of the family. He never showed any interest in setting foot outside again, strictly an indoor cat. Boy did he shed, he needed frequent brushing, as he was prone to matting. I still miss him!
