"Spuds" as he came to be known. A mellow cat beyond belief. He started life on the streets, but was utterly inept at taking care of himself. He almost lost an eye, a leg, his tail. He did end up with a smashed jaw and a snaggle-tooth.
After taking him in for emergency care the third week in a row (for a "cat-engine interface" event, as the coworker who called us described it), we just adopted him.
We adopted Casey last year. She was also totally inept at surviving outside, though not accident prone like your Spuds. She had no idea how to fend for herself, and got our outside cat mad by hanging around for food. The last straw was when she caught a dove, but had no idea what to do with it, so she let it go. The bird was fine, but Casey was confused 😹
