Hera ^
Homer ^
Both were given to me as stray kittens. Homer was found half dead, scared, and starved on a farm in Iowa. He had flees, ear mites, worms, and was barely alive. I had him for 8 years now, and hes still somewhat anti-social and gets frightened easily.
Hera was walking around a truck loading dock in LA, and came up to my brother while he was waiting to get loaded. He gave her some food, and she wouldn't leave him. She was walking around black top pavement in the middle of summer, so her paws were burnt and even her whiskers were singed. He gave her to me after she made the 2200+ mile trip to Illinois in his truck. She was completely starved, and it took several months before she built up some fat, and she also had worms. At first i thought it was some kind of imbred rodent, but she turned out to be an awesome cat.
