Dexter

A** cat hobbled out of the woods Looking lost, lonely and lean. With a hitch in his get along, a pitiful sight to be (( seen. My wife felt sorry for this feline I )) don't like cats, but I did too, so she fed him and fixed him up, and after a while he pulled through! Then we started seeing dead mice, so before you step you better check! "I guess he's not all bad", I thought (Even though some mice were on our deck!) I asked, "What will you do with him now?" "Let him go", was my best advice. She said, "No, His name is Dexter, He's a serial killer of mice!" Later I petted him, purring at my feet. That he loved it was very clear. When I looked up, what did I see? My wife was grinning ear to ear! I favor dogs to cats it's true, but Dexter's okay in my book Sometimes I even pet that cat if there's no one there to look!
