Oh the poor thing. Like jcat, I just can't imagine who could do something like that.A friend of ours was driving down a country road when he spied a cardboard box on the side. He stopped to check it out. Inside he found one little black kitty sitting and staring at him. Beside the little kitty was a dead mother and three dead siblings. Our friend, Dennis, scooped up the survivor and brought it home. I was in the bedroom and I heard Dennis say to my husband, "Here. This is for Jody". I figured it was a piece of mail from the box out front. To my utter surprise, my husband came in holding in one hand a tiny mewling ball of black fur. My first thoughts were that he wouldn't make it. He appeared to be about four weeks old. But he learned how to eat and used the litterbox right away. He was a very smart kitty. We named him Malachi James (James after my husband's name). We took him to the vet for shots, had him dewormed, DNA tested (he is a Bombay cat) and he had his "big boy" surgery. He has made three moves with us. He is now eleven years old, never been sick, and weighs about twelve pounds. He is so special. Our friend Dennis saved him from certain death. And that's how we came by our little fuzzbutt!
My story is fairly boring. We lost Molly while in the middle of selling our house and moving here. I needed some time to grieve and didn't feel it would be fair to adopt a cat and then move within a few weeks. We also had a week and a half vacation abroad a few days after the move. Once we got back, there were boxes everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE. We decided it would be best to wait until we were fully unpacked to adopt. I couldn't hold out that long. Within a few weeks I was on Pet Finder. We narrowed it down to a few cats and went to one of the local shelters. When we walked up to the window of the cat room. Abby was right in the window sleeping. She immediately got up, stretched and looked at us. After visiting with her. WE decided she was the one. :heart2:
She learned to live with the boxes for a bit. :lol3: I think she was disappointed when things were finally straight.
