Coco My Cat

this handsome yellow cat escaped months ago from my neighbor's house, she has 2 kids who terrorized the cat, so he kept on jumping from a 2nd floor! he finally stayed on our 'side' of the yard. My neighbor and myself started feeding him and letting him sleep in our laundry room, by now I allow him to sleep at my home and he follows me around, even if I am allergic to cats I got attached to this guy so much!, he has become pretty much my cat, along with another tuxedo little female cat (I will show her later). After feeding him and taking care of him for a couple of weeks, I realized he itched all the time and had these nasty scabs on his back, I took him to the vet and realized he has allergies. He is on medication now, but also I feed him premium wet canned food (Avoderm) plus Fish oil and Flaxseed. His coat has improved a lot and he doesn't itch and scratch all the time. He has a very goofy temper and loves to sunbath and to squeak at the birds around the yard. Even if I try to keep him indoor so he doesn't get the airborne allergies, he loves to be outside in the yard, and my other neighbor's yard. Every human who has meet this cat falls in love with him, he's very energetic and friendly. I found out that his 1st name was Coco, I am mexican so I just call him Gato, and he replies to this name now. He's a great furry friend to have!
