Bergamot
Fang
He was originally a stray in a housing project in North Carolina, beaten, kicked, and generally shit on by the children who lived there. He grew to be big, muscular, and more affectionate than any animal I've known, but always skittish, afraid of loud sounds, hands holding anything, and quick movements. After over ten years with me, he contracted FIV from another stray I brought in, and wandered off a year ago when he became too sick to even eat. We found him eventually, dead, and as near as he could be to me without my knowledge--he was also the classiest, most dignified animal I've ever known.
If you buy pets from a pet store/breeder, or abandon them because they're too much work, or don't neuter/spay them, you come pretty close to being garbage in my book. Do you want a status symbol, or a friend?
