Jack was my moms cat. When she passed 5years ago,my brother took Jack to his girlfriend's place. 2 years later,they broke up and she moved...abandoning Jack. Being an indor/outdoor cat,he fended for himself for several months before the neighbor called my brother to tell him Jack was wandering around. So my brother goes and gets him(Jack comes when called)and takes him to my sister's house.
I get a call from my sister,and am discussing what we are gonna do when my then girlfriend pipes up from the bedroom "We'll take him!" . I turn around and point out that we already have one rescue,and she/we had just recently agreed to take in another older beauty. She says "Are you talking about your moms cat,jack?"
I say "Yes."
She says "We'll take him."
My heart melts.
Bringing an old alpha cat into an apartment with 2 other wimpy cats made for some....uh,interesting situations. But my girl made it work,and now several years later she can't imagine being without Jack,and he is much kinder to Sonny and Pepe.
And tho we split up last year,my ex girlfriend and I have remained close enough for me to come stay with them all for a couple of days once a month. She knows my love for our furry boys,and would never keep me from seeing them. Jack is the greatest part of my inheritance,and I am glad to share him with my ex.
Proof positive that crazy cat ladies are the greatest gift for the crazy cat guy.
Thank you,Kim...for stepping up when my moms cat(and myself) needed you.
