Summary:
Whenever middle-aged desert tour guide Forrest Bryant Johnson went out on his daily walks into the Mojave, all was usually peaceful and serene. But one beautiful summer day in 1987, Forrest heard a cry of distress. Following the cries, he
came
upon a small
bobcat
kitten, injured, orphaned, and desperately in need of help. So Forrest took his new feline friend home for a night. But when the little "
trooper
" clearly needed some more time to recoup, that night turned into two nights, a week, and eventually nineteen years. And so
Trooper
became a part of the Johnson family. And in those nineteen years,
Trooper
lived his nine lives to the fullest. He explored desert flora and fauna around him, befriending kit foxes, jackrabbits, desert tortoises, and other creatures and getting into mischief along the way.
Trooper
became a "big brother" to stray tabby Little Brother, teaching, guiding, and protecting Brother on the pair's adventures and misadventures. He became a beloved patient at his local vet, and cherished housemate of Forrest's wife, Chi. And
Trooper
even managed to melt the icy heart of a tough guy neighbor. But most of all, throughout his nineteen years,
Trooper
became Forrest's best friend, as the two shared each other's worries and frustrations, musings and rants, joys and laughter.
