Stray cat wandered in for a feed, eye problems.
Vet asked if he should be put down.
Wife and I did a big Negatory response.
He got chipped, desexed, and his inverted eyelashes fixed.

Affectionate fella he is, but only at feeding time.
Typical cat!

7 years later, he is still OK.
Yes, he is FIV positive.
