The Life of Thompson

Often times I often forget about Thompson's handicap. That's easy to do because like the other boyz, it's Thompson's personality that defines him. He can be such a friendly cat, yet he often is reserved as well.

There are moments too when I see how hard losing his front leg is for an animal that would usually rely on flexibility and stealthy moves to get around. Sometimes it seems like such a chore for Thompson to get from here to there. Other times he has so much determination (usually around dinner time) where he'll tear off like he's been shot out of a cannon.

What I never forget is how Thompson has learned to cope with his lot in life. He may be more cautious than Theo or Diego but his desire to learn and explore is at all times inspiring.
