2020 was a rough year for everyone and had a n added touch of rough for me. I lost Bubba the Beach Cat at 18 years old to a stroke on Easter weekend,
With my mom being so very attached to Bubba I knew going home with no cat was going to be devastating for her...and very difficult for me. God was watching and I was given a true God Wink when the vet, upon hearing the situation told me the story of an 8 month old kitten surrendered to her from a breeder 2 days before. An American Bobtail, He was going to need some special attention because he had been living in a cage for 8 months., He was shy and had no idea how to be a kitten. Was I interested? I was. I simply could not go into my house catless and have to deal with my weeping 92 year old mom. Rufus came home with me that morning,. He is not the funniest and strangest cat I have eve owned. He is true to his breed, the most dog like cat I have ever seen! Other than his need to be as high in the air as he can possibly get. I have found him perched on the top of my bedroom door, and eyeing just how to get onto the blades of my ceiling fans or the beams of my vaulted ceiling! Always an adventure.
As if that is not enough...3 weeks ago I found out the feral cat that I have been feeding for the past 8 months had kittens under the house next door, I spent 3 weeks trapping and finding homes for them and trapping the mama and having her spayed, 3 of 4 kittens went as soon as they were old enough and I had socialized them...getting their feral hissing to a minimum and them allowing people to pick them up. The 4th was adopted but that fell through.. There were 3 boys and a girl.
Giess who now has a baby “sister”!!? Even better....guess who is actually getting a full nights sleep now!!!! ME!
