Slash? The black one turned out to be a boy, and dumb as they come. He was gonna need a new name anyway, so “Boots” it is. But after he attempted suicide by dog a week ago, “Dumbass” might have been more appropriate. I didn’t see what happened, but heard it and looked up just in time to see Boots stagger away from the dog. He’s quite the feisty little rascal, so I imagine he tried his flying 4-paw ninja attack on Jax while he was eating his biscuit. I was afraid the kitten wasn’t gonna make it. He lost alot of blood and wasn’t moving much when we got him to the pet ER. Now he’s an $800 “free” cat, and the strong concussion followed by stitches clear across his head did not appear to slow him down at all.
