How old is he? Sorry if this has been mentioned already.
he's 10.
he was an SPCA cat that my hubby's shop got to keep the mice down. One winter, the company got a sand blaster, and the cat, being smart, decided that crapping in the sand blasting sand was much smarter than going outside in the cold. The guys refused to get him a litter box, and instead decided they would just kill him. Hubby showed up at home one day, with a terrified, upset cat under his arm, and Tig's been ours ever since.
