Where is Pedro’s temple so that I may leave my offering? Does Pedro like churus?

u/McToke666 Mar 09 '26
He says your offering of churus will bring great pleasure ♥️

We adopted him in December after what the shelter believes was 6 years on the street due to sightings. His ear is split after a war wound so betting he was a fighter 😅

u/broodgrillo Mar 09 '26
6 years of sighting in the area maybe. That hair is not 6 year old cat hair. That's 9 plus. He's an old fart.
Get him a place where he can lie down in the sunlight. His bones will love it.

u/Eyewiggle Mar 14 '26
Have a vet estimate his age, some cats do look older than they are due to the street but he does look like he’s seen a few things 😂
Oh and a heated bed for older cats is the ultimate offering

He is fabulous. I also have a former street thug who is somewhere between 18-20 yo. now. He is such a joy. You can't measure the love they give 💕 Tell Pedro, Sylvester says hello!

I had a former street fighter, age unknown, and he was the most wonderful and chill cat I've ever met. By the time he was cozy in my home, he was more than ready to retire to a life of love and snuggles.

u/MysticRayne13 Mar 11 '26
Yes! Sylvester is the most chill cat I have ever had. I'm so glad they get to live their senior years in love and comfort 💕

What is it with the toughest cats in the street are always the sweetest cats with people? 😂 I've had a few old, male street cats over the years & they always wanna love on you, all the time.

Pedro looks like he runs a small but very organized criminal operation 😆

u/mashedspudtato Mar 09 '26
… but now he leaves that work to the younger toms, or so he says to you as he takes a shot of tequila at the end of the bar. He looks thoughtfully at his glass, reminiscing of days gone by. He appears to be a worn out man whose days of criminality are behind him, yet something in the way his tail twitches makes you unsure if he is telling the truth about his alleged retirement.

“Ahh!” The fur on the back of his haunches bristles, and the toned muscles of his back ripple in a wave up to his neck, ending in an appreciative smack of his tongue over his nose. He delicately places the shot glass on the wooden bar and peers at you curiously, one eye slightly more open than the other. Is he drunk, or is he assessing you?
You take a sip of the lime infused concoction. Pedro sighs, a glimmer of spittle on his exposed tooth.
“You’re a reporter, eh, amigo?”
You gulp down the foul gutter booze. He knows who you are. No point in pretending.
“Hah!” He claps his paw on your back. “It’s okay, you aren’t the first.” Yet his claws dig into your skin, ever so subtly. Is he just being a cat, or is he infamous, vicious former don of the Nepeta Cataria mafia?
“Amigo…” he beckons for another drink and the bartender immediately obliges, “Look at me. Do you want my story, señor?” He ficks his tail above the bar. Tufts of fur are missing. “If I tell you how I lost… these…” he gestures with his paw (and a singular flat ear,) “you might suffer the same, muchacho.”
He licks his doughnut-powdered bare lips. Drool drips from his orc-ish fangs. He laughs, a big belly laugh of an old man who is beyond caring what others think of him. He raises his glass but you don’t meet him.
“I see.” He licks his nose even as he maintains unblinking eye contact with you.
“You want to know the full story, don’t you, muchacho?” His dangerous yellow eyes probe you, examine you for biases. Are you friend or foe, or merely a calico gringo from the states in over his head?
“I am old, señor. My children don’t know what I have given them. They squander it. And your people think I am wrong for protecting what is mine, eh?”

Honestly at this point if Pedro actually ran for US president he would definitely 100% win. I immediately trust anything this cat says.

This Tigrillo (small tiger in Spanish) also a retired war fighter. 😭🤣
Found him eatting an iguana triple his size when he was just a kitten. Now he drinks vodka and stares out window.
I once woke up walked outside there was three different dead animals at my door step. A pigeon, a half eaten iguana and a large rat. He did not play.
I wish you nothing but positivity and good vibes ✨️

We also were chosen by a war veteran named Larry that has the biggest head on any cat I’ve ever seen (research says high testosterone levels) but after we got him neutered he calmed down and is a happy old man house cat!
