This is Tripper.
He's a stray that has adopted my family back home. His name is from the countless number of times he's almost killed my father by tripping him.
You can see there's a slight scar over his left eye. He's a very dirty little man, but oh so loveable (and is practically a twin to my cat, Quint!).
My cat Polly (icon) has some sort of dark, slightly raised 'mole' on her outer thigh. She doesn't complain when I touch or inspect it, but she's licked all the fur off the area. I'm wondering if I should take her to the vet? It must itch her or something if she keeps licking it...
