Who doesn't love a big orange boy?

Yes, I'm talking cats here. I mean can we get real? There is something very special about big orange tabby boys. They always seem to be the nicest. Meet Nick:

Poor Nick just doesn't seem to know what to make of the home environment. He has a big gash on his front leg and, as you can see slightly in his picture, is sporting a pretty good cold (upper respiratory infection in the cat world but basically the same thing). He received some antibiotics for his wound but no doubt will have to have oral antibiotics for his URI.

He's definitely afraid (under the bed as you might not be able to tell). But he loves affection and will eventually come out and start to purr, which then gets him a little congested. I'm sure this poor boy has had little or no inside experience but he's surprisingly good tempered. He let me clean up the goo-goo on his face and clean out his wound a little as well. All in a day's work. I know when he's healthy he'll be adopted. Everyone loves a big orange boy, right?
