Studly. Potentially cranky. Been around the block more than a few times. Covered with scars. Thought of wistfully by "ladies of the street".
You know what I'm talking about. OMC, bay-bee!
Old
Man
Cats.
OMCs rock. All animals are great, from cats to zebras, but OMCs have me at meow. My DH groans everytime we see a stray, feral or adoptable OMC - I'm drawn to them like butter. (Luckily he's a sucker too.)
I'm going to paste in part of the story of one of my wonderful OMCs. (This was posted in another thread previously.)

"Max is sadly no longer with us - he was already very old and very beat up when I adopted him from the Humane Society. When Russ and I got married, Max was the first "old-man cat" that he had ever had (I was a long-time OMC adopter), and Max changed his life. His love for Max helped him be even more understanding of older people with health and mobility issues. My sweet Max had a broken ear (bent to one side), hair standing on end, a surly expression and his tail & back were crooked from breaks in three places each. In other words, he was gloriously handsome. Since Max looked tough but acted sweet, it was a great example of looking beyond appearances. "
Here is a pic of my baby-boy Max.
