Today is Geoffrey's Gotcha Day!! It has been 4 years since I took him home! Yes, 4 years. We have been through so much...
Picture of him in his cage at the humane society, where I volunteered:

I fell in love with his "Question Mark" tail... always that way...
He gravitated to the bathtub in 'his' bathroom: CADD6D2F-89FF-4245-861D-5779D38B5A3B.jpeg

Yes, it has been a ton of work, to socialize him. I thought he was abused, during some point in his life.. Maybe he was, but...
He kept me up all night long, for a couple months. He was afraid of the daylight. I used to call him my: "Vampire Cat"..

Geoffrey has put me through the wringer, but he has been so loving.. once we got through his: always being frightened personality.

Moving helped. Perhaps Artie's smell was still in the apartment? I have not idea what it was, but once we moved, into a teeny tiny apartment, Geoffrey seemed to blossom, into the love bug, I was hoping he would be.

Yes, he is still afraid, but, is now lying on my lap while I watch TV, at night. I think the blanket is the source of this. He is my love bug..
my Little " Big" boy..

So much has happened, and is still continuing to happen to us. I do not know how much longer I will have him; but he is my little boy.
I love him..
Happy Gotcha Day, Geoffrey...

Geoffrey, do you know how lucky you were to end up at the same shelter where your Mom was volunteering? It must have been fate, because you're the purr-fect kitty for your Mom, and your Mom is the best purr-son who could ever have adopted you.
Happy 4th Gotcha Day to you both. I hope you have many, many more. :redheartpump::petcat:
