Amazing cat has dog-like tendencies!


PHOTO ABOVE: Tac, my amazing cat. The yellow dot just in front of Tac is a tennis ball thrown from quite far away.

Back in the day, I was the proud poppa of an incredible cat named Tac. Tac (cat spelled backwards) was no ordinary cat. He enjoyed being petted, chased cows for fun, and fetched tennis balls!

Tac would not only fetch the balls over and over again, but he'd chase them down as I'd throw them out onto a field 20, 30, 40 yards out!
