Towner’s cat Borg apparently has eaten too many tender vittles.

Borg was based after my long-time cat Peter “Borg” Patches. I had him between 1986-2001. When young, he was pretty aggressive, even vicious at times, and one did not dangle arms, legs, or faces behind couches unless they wanted them painfully bloodied without warning.

 

Original Version.

However, as he aged, he mellowed and got really fat, and I was his everything… he stayed with me and cuddled with me as much as he could. He died of cancer and diabetes a couple of weeks before 9/11, so I had a rough month back then.

Colorized Version.

Even decades later, I still have scars from childhood from him on my hands and arms. At the time, I of course did not like it, but now they make me fondly remember him — even if he was evil as a kitten.
