I like cars: Jim Spanfeller is one ugly motherfucker's saved articles

Haha, fair enough. 2 cats actually. Both are former ferals I rescued about a year ago (they are about 18 months old now) when the momma cat showed up in my yard with her litter. Kept 2, got all (including momma) TNR’ed, and adopted out the others.
