I was walking around the neighborhood this morning and saw a majestic tabby
tom, with a huge head and one eye, sitting on a porch. He was yowling
persistently at the door. Out of the door came a lady bearing plates of
gooshyfood. Then, out of nowhere, three kittens came charging right at the
food.

Oh no, little bitties! I thought. That Mr. Badass Tom Cat might not want
you around!

Mr. Badass Tom Cat backed away while the bitties tore into the food, and
waited while the woman went back into the house and got a plate for him.

Then he tucked in.

Aww, what a wonderful cat. Some boycats just seem to love bitties,
though 'experts' warn us that male cats can kill kittens who are not
their own.

Frank used to let Nikki nurse on him when she was a kitten. She wasn't
getting any milk out of him, of course, but it comforted her and even
Frank seemed to enjoy it after his first WTF? moment.

Partly OT -
That Tomcat sounds like a combo of Rowdous - blind eye - and Tugboat -
huge
head from inbreeding.....he could be the kittens' daddy, right? BTW my
entire
impression of NYC and surrounding territory is only from watching S&TC
for years
on tv and Iknow better than to believe all I've seen, much less that
those women
could afford that lifestyle and those clothes, especially, in RL, as I
have been told
in RL how expensive the rent is in NYC. However, the brief scenes of
what was
supposed to be Brooklyn (how would I know if it wasn't Staten Island,
LOL) seemed
pretty nice to me and I never understood the NYC residents disdain for
that city.
The only thing I could imagine is that Brooklyn is not within walking
distance to all
the populace of NYC consider the 'IN' places they frequent. I have
some friends who
periodically visited me in Miami; they lived in one called Bronx but
moved to a city
farther north called Yonkers, which was their idea of heaven. Aside
from difficulty
understanding them until we had been together a few days, just like my
Cajun'
cousins from LA.plus I did gather they lived in a kinda bad 'hood in
Yonkers, I
neversaw anything odd about them either....they were crazy about the
Miami
beaches I recall. Anyway, Brooklyn sounds rather calm and restful
compared to
Manhattan, at least to me.

Well, we never minded it-- after all, it kept them away. :P

But the nature of life is that more and more of them have been squeezed out
of Manhattan-- Manhattan is a very tiny place, after all, and moved guess
where-- to Brooklyn, which is now getting trendy. And expensive. Real
Estate in NYC passed "insane" several years ago.

That sounds like my Funny Face. He used to be *the* big ole tom, that
has been around for years. Torn up ears and all. He always protected
the little ones, even those who were not his. We did finally decide
that Funny Face was Marley's dad (same mouth and nose, and same
feetsies).

He's still here, it's just that we finally caught him, and got him
fixed, so he's no longer a "Tom" and he's gettin' pretty chunky now
(which is good). Discovered he hated, and avoided the traps, but
didn't mind at all being put in a carrier, and didn't cry when the
C.L.A.W.S. lady took him away, though he was happy to see me two days
later (with the baby food for the newly desexed fur'adults').
