The feral I wrote about in another post that I'm hoping to socialize has been meowing, fairly loud, constantly from her base of operations in the kitchen, right near the sliding doors. But she never meowed while I was in view.
Today I was in the kitchen washing out a few dishes, when suddenly I heard her meow. I thought it was a good sign that she meowed in my presence so I turned to her and started to talk. Suddenly I heard the meow again, but her mouth didn't move. I heard it again and realized it was coming from the other side of the doors.
I looked outside, and lo and behold, cowering in a corner of the desk was a kitchen, frightened, half-starved and shivering. I have a feeling she might have been there a couple of days since I hadn't been out there, and it seems the two of them have been having one hell of a conversation.
She came up to me and insisted on being held and just started rubbing against my chin, kissing me, purring like I've never heard. I fed her then whisked her off to the vet, where I found out that thank goodness he is all negative on the bad things, and seems healthy, so at least I can take him in with my guys. He's only about 5 1/2 months old (though bigger than my Rocky who is almost 8 mos) and is the most affectionate sweetest cat I've ever seen. He was purring while they were doing the blood tests!
I'm going to first put up signs to see if he was possibly lost. Then PALS is going to try and find him a home. But I have a feeling this cat was sent here for a reason, we bonded. I know i shouldn't have another, but he's special. He's gorgeous to, seems he's an abyssinian mix.
Plus, since he's already made friends with the feral, it might help me bring her out. The Cat Gods have been very busy at work again with me. lol
Wish me luck! LOL
