Foxtrot Oscar Wilde - known as Oscar (obvs!), O'Scarface, Scarface, Scarface Halfear (his Orc name), and FatCat. Yes, he's an outdoor cat with a penchant for coming home with facial injuries - we know not how or why he gets them, they don't seem to bother him and heal quickly and well - but they're frequent - hence the names!

(Mousey found his way into a shoebox with a hole in it and was released back into the wild. The best tip I've ever got from MN!)
