This is our tom cat he is the protector of our family and the best friend to my second son who literally grew up with him from four months on. Midnight has protected us from all intruders both wildlife and human he sleeps with all four of them when they have bad dreams or are sick he lets them grab handfuls of fur and skin and hold him as tight as they need to and he just purrs until they are asleep. He guards us when my husband is gone and is a trusted member of our family.
