Lallorona,
I have Bastet in several places in my house and Egyptology always fascinated me as well ( still does). Have to add other areas of belief and general Mythology too-- one of my cats is named LOKI, and really fits the name, though sometimes I think it might as well have been Houdini or Merlin equally well. Absolutely an escape artist of major deeds!
I have been lucky enough to have had two of the silver gray cats in my life, but they were more of the Russian or British Blue variety with chunky little bodies, one with spectacular Aqua-green eyes, the next with very golden ones. She had seven toes on each foot too, so despite her name being Heather... More often she was called " shredder", which really fit! Anubis has that very Oriental look so might just keep his blue eyes. You just never know how they'll turn out, but he's certainly special. Look how he started out and where he is now!
I really loved your growth photos... Fabulous way to show how much he's grown, and very funny too. My latest "Kitten" is about 15 months and is absolutely huge at over 20 pounds. He was a fairly typical looking Siamese, but now looks more like a Maine Coon! Honestly you just never know. He fits nowhere that he used to, but still tries with often hilarious results[emoji]128540[/emoji], if he sleeps anywhere on me it puts whatever part he is on to sleep!
I'm just so very happy for both of you. You got through to him that he needed to live, and gave him the love and strength to do it! My family calls that ability " Cat Magic", but perhaps Bastet helped him as well. Either way, great job, truly. He is just amazing and very beautiful, and I'm so happy that you found each other when you did. Not many would have even tried at that stage, but you did ( I would have too). Your story started my New Year off on a very big high note and I'm still smiling. Thank you for that![emoji]10084[/emoji]️[emoji]128062[/emoji][emoji]10084[/emoji]️[emoji]128522[/emoji]

I named him Nevan). It was during the cold weather. And rainy too. Momma never showed up. My dad suspects they were taken away from mama and dumped on the streets! I was still in high school at the time. So during school nights I would wake up every few hours to bottle feed. Sometimes I would get to school late. Sometimes I wouldn't show up until my second class because there was no one at home to feed them while I was gone. So I had to wait until my mom came home. Everyday after school I would go straight home. No more hanging out with friends after school for me lol but i didn't mind. I agreed to take full responsibility of them when I asked if I could keep them (while Nevan was still alive at the time). That same week when I took them in we had also taken in another stray, simba. We were trying to find him a home. Nevan died a week later, and since we didn't want princess to grow up lonely so we decided to keep him. Unfortunately he passed away 2 years ago
