This is Aussie, our three legged stray that showed up at our back door three years ago. She had been de-clawed and her left rear leg must have gotten badly broken because it had been surgically removed, so we knew she had been someone's pet. We put up posters in the neighborhood, but never found her owners so we figure she was no longer wanted and had been dropped off in our neighborhood, which happened a lot.
I initially asked Marge not to feed her, as we already had two that she had taken in and another one we adopted when my mom passed away. She quietly fed her anyway and I'm glad because shes my favorite of the bunch now. Turns out she was so thin that we first thought she was a really young, large kitten. She wasn't and fattened up quickly and has transformed into a very loving, but spoiled and demanding family member.
If I'm not paying her attention, petting her or giving her treats on time, she lets me know it....oh yeah, I have spoiled her rotten. Aussie (initially nicknamed Tripod but I was overruled) pictured here sitting in my spot on the sofa, thinking she's a person. She's velcro to me...man have I gotten attached to this one.
