Say hello to Dr. Henry Metzger!

…our New Year’s rescue from the local kitty jail. He’s affable, cross-eyed and kind of goofy looking and our vet says he’s going to be enormous, so with any luck he’ll grow into his name.

In compliance with Doper statutes and customs.

Congratulations! He looks well on his way to the appropirate magnificence.

Oh, he’s a beauty koeeoaddi. May you have many happy years together.

OwOw!! He’s a beauty! Me likey BIG cats! esp males!

Ooooh, he’s a big’un!

He looks a lot like my Attila!

Absolutely gorgeous.

How did he get the name?

Thanks!

Dr. Henry Metzger is the name of the cat in the insanely entertaining heist novel, Metzger’s Dog, by Thomas Perry. I laughed out loud every time I read it and swore, “if I ever get another cat…” :slight_smile:

What a cutie!

Such a nice kitty! Can’t wait to read about his personality.

Major kudos on the name. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a psychotic moron…

No other name could have been chosen. He looks exactly like Dr. Henry Metzger.

Adorbs, particularly the cross-eyed-ness. What is his doctorate in? Fluffology?

Awww! He’s a cutie!!!

Um, …let’s just say that he is trying very hard to live up to his name. :smiley:

He’s a handsome dude. He looks very Siamese to me in the first pic.

Here’s hoping he’s a dermatologist. If that name doesn’t work, I recommend Dr. Stephen Carnifex.

I LOVE orange boy kitties! And a Ph.D. at his tender age? Fantastic. :slight_smile:

Aye, the orange ones fuck you up real good!

I love cream colored kitties! cutie patootie
