Ugly cat

[TubeDude]

That's UGLY with all capital letters.   As others have observed, probably his last catfest rodeo.  He probably earned every one of those scars with honor and can wear them proudly...until he can't.  

Sorry to hear about your wife.  I was just about a full time caregiver for TubeBabe for the last two months before she let go.  Helps ya realize what things are really important.  But by then there is usually not much else you can do but follow it through as best you can.

One last parting shot.  Be careful you don't mistake looking at that cat for looking in the mirror.  The cat is probably better looking anyway.

Thanks Pat for the kindly words about priorities with regard to soul mates. Been together with mine for 64 years and I definitely consider her a keeper. I do take offense at your "parting shot" but then again, confronting a truth is difficult. Actually, I will gladly absorb any shot you send my way cuz they never hurt and... I admire the source, and the jokes, and the shared fishing, and the flig supplies... stuff like that.

Let's do lunch some day.  PM sent.

If you really wanna see a ugly catfish face in the mirror you can have my mask.
