How fortunate all of these beautiful cats are to have found you. The comfort and companionship they give is worth so very much. Honestly, I cant understand how anyone can live without them. I only have 3 now - Axel(dog), Smurf(cat) & Pookie(bird) but in taking care of them - it keeps me moving!
And youre right we do get that love back in many many ways.
I tend to a menagerie of abandoned cats, here on the
mountain, where I live.
I guess people think you can just dump a domesticated, or
abused cat off in the forest and it will live or die.
Cookie is beautiful TC. We have a solid black here to.
Ebony. His eyes are green.
Ivory is his brother of a different mother.😁 They were both born under my
trailer 12 years ago, on the
same day. Where you see
1, the other is soon to follow.
Then there's Luna. Solid grey,
bobtail. He's a special Russian breed of cat that came staggering up out of
the forest behind my home,
with a collar that had not
snapped apart and had twisted around his neck,
down over his shoulder and
under his leg, causing a terrible wound. I took care
careof him and he has been here now 18 mos. He had
definitely belonged to
someone though. He is the
guardian now that Sadie has
left the mountain and sits at
the top of my drive at night.
Then there's little Tippy. He's the only survivor of the 3 kittens that were dumped last
year. He's a sweetheart and
likes me a lot.
These are 4 of about 10 cats that have picked me out. Every morning they are on
my porch, tails waving hello.
They all let me pet them, but
only Tippy lets me hold him.😁
I am still having a hard time
adjusting to not having my
beautiful Sadie here. I've
had 2 people just walk
into my house. Sadie was a
dual purpose hearing assist
and service dog. Even in her
last week, when she was feeling so miserable, she was
was still alerting me when
someone came. Struggling up
to be at the door. She had
never retired after 16-1/2 yrs.
The cats here and here on TAFM make me smile. The
love we give, they all; dog, cat, return in more than
a hundred different ways.
Thank you all for sharing your
stories and you especially Tom, for sharing this part of
your life. ❤

What a blessing you are to so many
Flattery will get you everywhere, Jeri! :-)
Not flattery if it's true. Don't deny it
