Beautiful story.
My nineteen year old girl kitty was on Death’s doorstep. Then, a sickly tomcat showed up and insisted I adopt him. Suddenly, girl-kitty had a purpose; driving boy kitty away. She’d get off her death bed and chase him away from his food and eat the entire bowl. (This from a kitty who would not eat a single mouthful on her own.) She is doing fine. Still annoyed and hissing at boy kitty, who is taking it in stride. (He knows he will get another bowl delivered in the privacy of my bathroom. Actually, he’ll run there and wait.)

What a wonderful story, and those kittens are cute...Mason is wonderful, too.
Awww... Kitty Stories
I was raised with dogs
My Wife was raised with cats
So we’re cat people
We did TNR with five cats. A few weeks after their release we brought them indoors, as they were being threatened by a couple of raccoons. They’re the most loving kitties we’ve had. This, after the lady from the local feral cat group said, “You’ll never tame them.” they wait in line to sit on our laps and cuddle.
My first cat, Tiger, was a striped, abandoned kitten found under my Dad’s office steps, meowing and shivering in 10” of snow. He put the tiny one in his coat pocket and we had her 24yrs.
I watched his story unfold. Beautiful.
Kidney failure is like the cat’s Achilles heel. I lost all but two of my past cats to it. I so wish it could be prevented or completely cured, as it separated me from beloved companions. They didn’t want to leave me, and I certainly didn’t want to be parted from them, but G-d had other plans.
