   Please meet the newest little member of our family, Spot. He is what my vet calls a "foundling." Our dog, Buster, found him in a corner of our back yard and wouldn't leave him alone until we noticed he was up to something. I gave the cat some food and water but didn't bring him in the house because I didn't have a litter box. That evening the cat sniffed out and found where that good-samaritan dog lived and cried at our back door all night. Needless to say, the next morning I went out and bought everything needed for a cat, polished up my best begging and pleading face for my husband - and let him in. Spot barely weighed three pounds when Buster found him. He was dehydrated and starving, didn't play or have much of a reaction to anything. After all the necessary veterinary procedures, a good bath and several wolfed-down meals, Spot settled in to his new home. Now, after a month, he's downright plump, happy, playful and he worships our dog as his greatest hero for having found him.
