DEXTER is my long haired gray and white male pussy cat. Dex was found locally wandering around in someones backyard. He was just a baby by himself, maybe four weeks old. Here is a picture back then.
Dexter was brought to a local shelter where I was volunteering my services. I had lost the best cat I ever had the year before (MOE), and felt I had to offer my help to homeless cats. Moe was just two years old when his life ended. The story of Moey and his two brothers (LARRY and CURLY) may be told at a later time. Baby Dexter needed to be fostered, so I jumped at the opportunity.
At this time Larry and curly were three years old. So I had to put Dex in a separate room until he could hold his own with the big boys. .... another picture back then...
I had to bottle feed him at first, then introduce wet /dry food' This was a learning experience for me. Once he started eating dry he went into overdrive. It was like putting rocket fuel in your car. At this time I had fallen in love and couldn't give him up. I never ment to find a replacement for Moey, no cat could. He was released into the house as soon as possible and then the fun began. Dexter did not grow up with siblings so was stunted socially. Larry and Curly did not except him. Curly in fact would chase him all over the house screaming in his high pitched voice seemingly trying to kill him until little Dexter would hide where they couldn't fit. Dex thought this was fun, unless he got caught. This is when Dex made sounds I had never heard a cat make before. WOO WOO then woo woo again. That is his trade mark call. Must he the breed.
Dexters all grown up now but still much of a loner. That is until mommy cat and her four babies arrived. But that's a whole another story. Here are some recent pictures of Dexter to end the story. He may look like a hug gable pretty boy but he is tough son of a gun..
Last one with mommy cat.. aka Good Girl aka GG....
