This is Gypsy, my precious little cat:
He was only 5 weeks old when some horrible person threw him out of their car on the highway in Southern Arkansas. My dad saw him, stopped and picked him up and took him home. His nail beds were ripped out and as you can maybe see in the picture, his face was all cut up. I slept on the bathroom floor with him that night and he crawled out of the basket we put him in and curled up on my neck. I put him back in the basket over and over and he would just cry and meow and climb back out again onto my neck. Finally I let him sleep there. The next morning we took him to the vet and the vet fudged his age up a couple weeks so I could buy Gypsy an airline ticket. Two days later I flew with him back to California where I live. He is now 11 months old and living very happily up in his new home in the Sierra Nevadas.
(He still sleeps on my neck š even though heās getting a little big)
Edit 4/12/21 more Gypsy pictures. He is now 1.5 years old:):
