He is a hero just by being himself. Mom and I adopted him during a time that mom was so depressed that she had a hard time living from one day to the next. She just wanted to fall into eternal sleep. With Espresso's help, mom slowly got better and now has a job, does chores every once in a long while, grocery shops, does laundry at times. Mom had even started to knit again. Something she hasnt done since I was a real little kid.
Espresso and his sister Latte both are heroes here at my house.
And no, they both are indoor cats. They just love me bringing in a bucket of snow for them to play and dig in.
