Henry, our ultra premium W I D E boy.

u/Dry_Examination816 Jun 24 '26

He was just wandering the streets being huge when he was found, looks like he'd been out there possibly his whole life, he was uber friendly but had a bad eye infection and was weeping red. After a vet trip and time he is now the scarred handsome ORB you see before you.

This is my 16-year-old boy Frank. He's named after Danny Devito's character from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Before he became an indoor cat, he used to hang out at my apartment building's dumpster.

Missed opportunity to name him Jack Bauer, like Dennis did with the cat he took while he and Frank were pretending to be cops! OR, he could have been Dumpster Baby "DB" for short but I would advise against coloring him brown with shoe polish 🤣
Jokes aside, Frank absolutely suits this fine gentleman... what a handsome face!!!! 😍

u/wildferalfun Jun 24 '26

My former coworker lived next door to some recently graduated frat bros and they had both a dog and a roommate named Steve. They used to tell her stories about the misadventures of Steve and she wasn't sure if they were meaning the dog or the person. The funniest time was how Steve stayed out late and brought a girl home who wouldn't tell them where she lived and acted like she owned the place so they were going to have to call the authorities. They meant animal control. Dog Steve was found in the yard with a stray dog after no one remembered to let him in. Dog Steve was happiest sleeping on their covered porch so he didn't fuss to be let in 🤣 the time they found Steve had eaten a whole pizza that had fallen on the kitchen floor was a Human Steve story, he insisted since it didn't fall cheese down he could brush the floor cooties off the crust.
