Spike

Spike is another wayward cat that began showing up for meals. We cornered him, caught him with welding gloves for personal protection, and took him to the vet. He was a HARDBODIED cat! When the vet tried to put a needle in him, the needle bent. That's how he earned his name. He is still semi-wild, and he likes to maintain a safe distace from humans. Funny thing is, he likes dogs. Put a dog on a leash, march him up to Spike, and the cat is ecstatic. You can reach over the dog, pet Spike, give him belly-rubs, even pick him up. Eventually he will make up with us, I think.
