 Big
Guy was found as a stray in DeLand by a couple of women who were unable
to keep him. He had a benign tumor on his side that burst shortly after
coming here, and he had surgery to get it removed. He has some scarring
in his right eye due to an old injury, and his bent ear may have been due to an old injury, too.
Big Guy isn't an especially large cat...he got his name due to his
attitude rather than his size. He was always good with people, but when
he first arrived, he was very bossy with the other cats, and he usually
slept on a blanket by himself because the other cats were afraid to come
near. He was especially bossy with the dogs, and would swat the blind
dogs if they bumped into him. The dogs who could see would often back
out of a room if they saw him in there.
Big Guy has slowed down quite a bit as he has gotten older. He now
mostly keeps to himself and spends much of the day sleeping. He has lost
most of his teeth, but is otherwise in good health. He no longer grooms
himself much and drools due to his missing teeth, so he looks a bit
scruffy at times.
