My parents finally had to have Scruffy put down today and I am convinced he was the best cat ever. His nickname was the Dude because he was such a mellow macho man. He was the nicest cat, though. I don't remember one single time when he bit or scratched anyone, even when you had to give him medicine. He got his name because he was always dirty, like Pig Pen, he loved to lay in the dirt. When you patted his back clouds of dirt rolled off of him. He was quite the scrapper, too. Notice the notch in the ear in the above picture. I'm sure he always won:) He must have been at least 15 years old but probably older. We will never know since he adopted us and I am sure glad he did.
