10-year-old Tomcat Found Living in Yard of Abandoned House

A 10-year-old gray and white tomcat was found living in the yard of an abandoned house. The cat, which has been renamed Lucky, is being cared for at the local animal shelter.

Lucky was discovered by a passerby who noticed the cat living among the tall grass in the yard. "He was very timid at first, but he's coming around," said Jane Doe, the caretaker at the animal shelter. "It's amazing that he's been able to survive on his own for so long."

Since being discovered, Lucky has been receiving food and water from Jane and her team at the shelter. They are also working on getting him neutered and vaccinated. "We're just so glad we were able to find him in time," added Jane. "He would have eventually died out there."

If you are interested in adopting Lucky, please contact your local animal shelter.

Stray Tomcat Saved from Being Euthanized

In a random act of kindness, a stray tomcat was saved from being euthanized at a local animal shelter.

The cat, who had been wandering around the area for weeks, was brought to the shelter after being caught by a local resident. When it was brought in, the staff at the shelter discovered that the cat had an injured leg and needed surgery.

Since the surgery would cost more than what the shelter could afford, they were going to euthanize the cat. But one of the workers at the shelter intervened and contacted a friend who agreed to pay for the surgery.

Now, thanks to the kind actions of one stranger, this stray tomcat will be able to live out his life in a loving home.

Local Man Adopts Stray Tomcat Whom He Naming Tom

In an incredible display of compassion, a local man has adopted a stray tomcat and has named it Tom. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, found the cat roaming the streets and took it in despite having several allergies.

Tom the cat has been welcomed into the man's home with open arms and has been given a comfortable bed, plenty of food, and lots of love. The man says that he has always loved animals and couldn't bear to see Tom wandering the streets alone.

Tom is settling in nicely and is already enjoying his new home. He can often be found perched atop a warm sunbeam or curled up in his bed for a nap. The man says that he is happy to have Tom as a part of his family and is excited to see what the future holds for them both.

Cat-Lover Campaigning to Have Stray Tomcats Protected by Law

In the city of Los Angeles, a woman is campaigning to have the city protect stray tomcats. Cat lover Betsy suffers from fibromyalgia, and has affectionately named all of the stray and feral cats she's cared for "Frank and Louie" after her cats back in her home state of Massachusetts. She's been feeding them and providing them with shelter for years, but worries about their safety now that LA has new laws regulating feeding of strays.

Betsy is concerned that the new law will allow Animal Control Officers to catch and kill the cats, so she's working hard to get the word out and plead with city officials to create an exemption for stray tomcats. She argues that they are not a nuisance, but rather much-needed members of the community who keep rodents away.

Many people in Betsy's community have rallied around her cause, setting up a Facebook page called "Frank and Louie Deserve Our Support - Stray Tomcat Protection in LA" and starting a petition on Change.org. The petition has already gathered over 2,000 signatures.

It remains to be seen whether or not Betsy will be successful in getting the city to protect stray tomcats, but it's clear that she has the support of many cat lovers who believe that all animals deserve compassion and protection.

Man's Best Friend? Not If It's a Tomcat

As a lifelong cat lover, I was appalled when I learned that the majority of people consider tomcats to be their "best friend." Nothing could be further from the truth!

Tomcats are complete jerks. They're always meowing for no reason, spraying urine all over the house, and scratching furniture. What's more, they're often un-neutered, which means they can produce unwanted kittens.

Frankly, I'd much rather have a dog as a pet. Dogs are loyal and friendly, whereas cats are aloof and independent. Dogs will always be happy to see you when you come home, whereas cats may or may not be there waiting for you.

In conclusion, tomcats should not be considered man's best friend - they're just lazy, unhygienic animals that cause nothing but trouble.
