About four months ago, the stray cat showed up at our door.

He was skinny, he was all emaciated and full of worms.

This wasn't doing well at all, and we decided we would put him on our back porch and try to get him back to health.

And over the course of four months and about $500 in vet bills later,

we got him to where he's nice and healthy and he's a really good cat.

We already have three cats so we can't keep him, and that's just too many for a small house.

But we've been trying to find a home for this guy, and I thought that

maybe I would put it out there to you folks, folks who are listening in. Maybe if you're somewhere

close to Nashville, you might have room for a cat, you might want somebody to be part of your family.

He's as sweet as anything. He's actually a lot sweeter than the cats that we have inside, but they're

family and they're not going anywhere. And anyway, he's been neutered, had all of his shots,

you know, completely vetted, and he's healthy, and he's ready for your home. So won't you,

if you think you might have space in the end for one more, send me an email at info at odyskibs.com, and we'll try to find this guy a home.

Music Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

I'm sitting here in my living room in East Nashville.

This is a personal journal.

This is a bit of an experiment.

I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing, but I decided to do it anyway.

And this show was founded with the idea that there are only two people in art that matter.

There's a creative individual and the person experiencing it. And everything else is an artificial filter. This is a way for me to share things with you guys without any filters whatsoever.

My guest this week is Joe Pug. Joe is a singer and a songwriter, and you can find out everything you need to know about Joe at joepugmusic.com.

Joe was nice enough to stop by my house here in East Nashville when he was in town, and he didn't have a lot of free time, so he kind of went out of his way to make it over here before the gig, and I appreciate that.
