Domino
Well, the mystery cat has taken up residence and is now making himself at home. He has been renamed Domino because of his black and white markings. Evidently he has been dumped or lost. Domino has definitely been someone's housecat. I have checked around and of course no one seems to know anything about a lost cat. He is probably 10-12 months old and as is his peculiarity, still hisses and growls while he is noticably enjoying the petting we give him.
He has learned that the dogs are not a major threat and that not every other animal in the area is interested in him. He has been quite offended by Baby Abby as she has not seen him as a threat when he growls and hisses at her when she tries to play.
Because of his demeanor, and the changes that have occurred in his personality since he arrived, we have been paying lots of attention to him. He has probably doubled his weight and become more tolerant. He is quite expressive and responsive. Last night he did the funniest thing. Baby Abby usually warrants a hiss and cuff when she attempts to include him in her games. But last night in the newly cut grass, he pounced and bounced and ran and played with her as if she and he were littermates. She was ecstatic and we were astounded.
