And obviously a most fortunate fellow to have found such a loving home with you!
Certainly looks to be doing great now.

We splurged and replaced all the windows in our house this week. Titus and Harry knew who the bay window was for. Maybe they'll stay off the kitchen table for a while - but, no, who do I think I'm kidding?

On those occasions when kitty cannot be found there are two time-tested strategies -
a) put out an empty cat-sized box
b) run the electric can opener

AND he is extremely courteous and well mannered.
He could see you wished to get a shot of the fahrrad and was content to sit off to the side.
You two are most fortunate to have each other.

Not mine (we have 3 of our own), but I'm cat sitting next door neighbor's during their 3 weeks in Europe. This is Gizmo, abandoned a few years ago by renters, neighbors took him in. Here is Gizmo showing his notches in the ear from fights and giving my knee headbutts.

FWIW- notched ears or "tipped" ears (with the tip of the ear cut off) often mean a cat that has been fixed.
