My human hero is named Peaches because his red-gold hair and fair complexion reminded his mother of her favorite fruit. The real hero is a wood cat named Alger. He is forty pounds of muscle, bone, and sinew, broad chested and bull necked, with brawny shoulders. Standing on heavy powerful legs, his enormous thickly padded paws conceal razor-sharp claws. A dusky-gray coat, thick against the weather, blends into the shadows. A broad head, great golden eyes, massive jaws, full cheeks, and large tufted ears complete the picture. He looks like a walking fortress. These are the adventures he shared with Peaches.
