He was taken from a farm down the road, then passed on to another person at a diner down the road. He lived in out back of the diner in a camper, and of course used the diner trash cans for his own diner! He was completely covered with fleas, but he was given a bath and then shortly after "evicted" from the diner and camper when he was brought down to me...the Cat Lady....at that time I think I only had 4 cats...he was number 5. Loved his different colored eyes and found out he was deaf....his "meow" was so loud because he could not hear himself! I think that his deafness gave him his quirky personality. He does not play like the others, more like he plays games with himself and shadows on the wall. He tends to get into things...when something is amiss in the house it is always "Ziggy did it!" He is very sweet but is a little "schitzo" being that he can not hear, he reacts to vibrations and things with bigger body language than the others. If he decides to play with the others, he will stalk them, then do a "dive bomb hit", then jump back and march around like his is king. He will do it over and over until the other cat finally gets away...they must be thinking..."this dude is crazy"! LOL. That's our Ziggy! Offically name "Ziggy Stardust".
