This is AC (arrowhead cat) We met around 5 years ago on one of my arrowhead hunts in Dothan, Alabama. I had a hernia surgery about a week prior and I was in a field not too far from where I lived so I wasn't in the best shape (my wife was mad at me for going) and from a distance I kept hearing faint meows. I decided to look around just to see what was going on, making sure to see if it was a injured cat or kitten, but I guess he was a little shy at first. I decided to take a break so I sat under a shaded tree, for a cigarette and a drink of water and he decided to come up close to me; at first he was a little timid and kept his distance. I didn't feel like getting bit and scratched so I just got up and continued, I didn't find any whole points but when I picked up a heartbreaker Hernando I noticed he was following me. I continued walking and he continued following, when I got back to my house he came with me and that was when he was loving, Being the soft heart that I am I petted him, let him sit in my lap and gave him some ham/turkey/bologna and water (which he devoured) and went to buy him a bed. He would rarely come inside, and if he did it would only be for a moment then he would practically ram the door to get back outside. He was walking besides me alot arrowhead hunting and with me when I found a good bit of my recent Alabama finds before we moved.
When we moved to Columbus, Georgia I didn't think he would come with us, but he rode in the Uhaul truck with me and just sat still (no carrier which amazed me). Anyways, when we got to Columbus he acted the same way, always wanted to be outside. Every time I would go outside he was there just wanting to hang out and be loved on, A week ago he started acting different (loss of appetite, looking spaced out, off balance at times). He was still loving through all this. I was able to examine him and found out that either a stray dog or a Racoon bit him. I thought it was a stray dog because I see some on occasion. Anyways... last night I went out side to smoke and as usual he was coming up too me and half way he collapsed and died about 30 minutes later.
This was one of the coolest cat's I have ever met, he hung out with me for a little over 5 years. It was cool that he followed me on some of my hunts and he came on his own freewill with us to Columbus; but the coolest thing of all was that I didn't find him, he found me. Thanks to everyone who is a animal lover and who took the time to read this.
