We think something like that happened to our cat - my husband and daughter found her - or she found them - while out deer hunting. She’s been the best cat ever.
“She’s been the best cat ever.”
I think abandoned animals realize quickly that life is better from a can. My cat’s very appreciative too. (Although, she will play hard to please just to see if there is something better on offer that I’ve been holding back.)
Someone abandoned a kitten at my pastor’s house. When he rescued him, the kitten was sickly and so badly flea bitten that his gums were white from lack of blood. My pastor couldn’t keep him because his wife and daughter are both allergic to cats so he came home with us. Today Charlie is a sleek and happy cat who loves to lie down and snuggle with anyone on the couch.
My sister once saw a neighbors kitten wandering the street. She scooped up the kitten, took it to the neighbor who owned it, only to be told that he didnt want the kitten anymore. It had chewed up one of his expensive house plants, so he tossed her out of his house and into the streets for good.
My sister simply took the cat home and she lived with us for over 20 years, until she passed away. The cat’s favorite thing to do was to climb up onto my left shoulder and just lay there, making herself comfortable. And she would gladly press her head and face into my cheek each and every time I would ask her for a hug.
My neighbors loss was my incredible gain.
We live out in the sticks. We had a kitten climb on to our deck start playing our children. Tiny thing - couldn’t have been weaned long.
We still have her, and she is my favorite cat - Archie the Volunteer.
