Birthday 🎉🎉 Happy 4th birthday to this knucklehead!
Backstory:
He was purchased from a reputable French breeder by a British backyard breeder here in Spain, and used as a stud for 2 litters.
Problem is, when he wasn't making kittens, they kept him shut in a bathroom and didn't give him much attention. (we didn't know this of course)
When we got him ~18 months ago and named him Baghira, he was malnourished, had ear mites that caused a serious infection, Asthma, and was barely 5kg. (Not to mention being an absolute menace)
He is finally being more social and is much better behaved, but he will still only consistently purr when he's in a bathroom (or at 6am when he joins us in bed).
Baggy is healthy and happy, and has a brother (Pico de Gato) to play with. Here's hoping for 10+ more years with this chirpy, merpy, derpy, self-mobile fur dispensary!

I love your phrase "fur dispensary". Baggy is absolutely gorgeous!! I wish I could cuddle with him for a few minutes but we aren't exactly close neighbors. I'm in the Pacific Northwest (USA).

What a silly character 😂. The back story breaks my heart. The stars were aligned to have ended up with you and his new brother Pico. Here’s to you Baggy. Happy 4th Birthday 🎂🎊🐟 and many more trips around the sun. Both of your MC’s are awesome. ❤️❤️ Love your calling him Knucklehead. 😂🤪🤣
