I just want to show off my true loves. One of these two is part a-hole and comes up with something new to get in trouble daily. Honestly, he’s too cute to get in trouble. Before we adopted him, he was returned to the Humane Society because “the child had an allergy” (one of the top excuses according to our local HS).
After 3 days of acclimation (with the other cat) he had full run of the house. We found out immediately why he was returned. We discovered that he’s obsessed with loaves of bread. Early on, he made a mad dash for a piece is sushi, and blind-sided my daughter for a mouth full of popcorn. It was quite impressive to see how calculating he was and how he kept the piece of sushi whole. I also didn’t know cats could squirrel away that many pieces of popcorn in their mouths.
So basically he needed a home that was willing to put up with his antics. We were ready for it and laugh daily at the things he comes up with. I didn’t even scratch the surface on the things he does and can do. Last week when he was being a butt, I told him that we got him on clearance.
Someone once told me that our pets are angels on earth, and they pass when we no longer need them. I lost both of my dogs within about 8 months of each other, after being diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. I told my family that we weren’t getting more pets because I didn’t know if I’d have the capacity to take care of them. My son promised to do everything, and he has (including helping take care of me during the worst days). At that point I had already revaluated what was really important in life (although I thought I already had). Something like this is a game changer for evaluating how you want to spend your time and who you want to spend it with.
He adopted one of the cats and then we went back to get the wild man about 6 months later. Our wild man was perfect because we all know that laughing is great for health and healing. That was all in 2021 – 2022. I’m having a reoccurrence (part of living with stage IV Ovarian), and we couldn’t have made a better choice in adopting either of our babies.
If you made it this far, thank you for letting me share my story. Also, adopt that kitten/cat you’ve been thinking of adopting. Life is short, there’s a kitty out there somewhere that needs a good home.
