Gangster

Stone Cold Gangster

This guy is brazen. He lives in a drainage pipe under the fir tree, and he’s used to holding his own with the feral cats at their food dish. He’s slightly respectful of Franny, but he’s not at all afraid of people. My neighbor has had to physically shove him out of the cats’ food.
