Fergus the Wonderful Cat

The Long Gaze of Endearment

Gives Way to Wistful Dreams

And Moments of Great Surprise

Followed by Periods of Feigned Nonchalance

Brazen Bids for Attention

And Just Plain Serious Cuteness…

 

Fergus’s Bio

Fergus came to me as a little tyke, just as he is pictured here. He was about 3 months old and had been abandoned as a six-week-old kitten and left to survive on his own. He was found with a group of other kittens who were not related to him. A very nice man and his wife who live in Buellton, CA. fostered Fergus and 5 of the other kittens until they were big enough and chubby enough to give away. Fergus was the liveliest and most playful of the bunch, so I chose him. He still is! We have been together over a year now. We have had some rough times. He was in an accident, broke his leg and almost did not make it, but he is a survivor, and now we are a lot more careful! We are a team and we love each other. There is no better companion than a good animal and Fergus is a Wonderful Cat!
