“An Animal's Eyes Have The Power To Speak A Great Language - Martin Buber”
Last month our Aunt Cissy came down with her animals in tow and in the pack was a cat named Todd. We noticed that our Kitty, Bootsey, LOVED having the company. Though she thinks she is a dog (since being only 6 weeks old when Mike rescued her before IKE blew in) she has been raised with 2 Red Healers who treat her like she is one. They all have fun together, but the friskiness and fun she showed when Todd was down, we knew that Bootsey needed a friend too!
We waited a few weeks till we made our decision to ensure we were making the right move. After Todd departed, we could tell a difference in Bootsey. She roamed around the house looking for Todd and we knew for sure that she DID indeed need a companion (other than her 40lb brothers.
We headed to the SPCA this weekend and what a treat it was! As soon as we walked in and approached Ramona’s cage, she was immediately playful and jumping around to get our attention. We knew at that moment she was the one, but we wanted to make sure. We walked around once to make sure we were making the right decision --- as we rounded that corner back to her cage…she was GONE!
I freaked out! I looked everywhere and knocked on the window and the caregiver pointed that she had just been pulled to clean her cage – whew! We immediately told them that she was the one we want. We got to sit with her in her little adoption room to get to know her a little more and she was perfect in every way! We found out that she had come to them injured and had to have surgery and was the most humble, sweetest kitty ever.
We scooped her up, signed the papers and off to the house we went. Once we got her home, we let her smell around and become acclimated with the new surroundings. Well it did not take her long before she knew where her litter box and food bowl was. She made herself very comfy in Mike’s arms and lounged on the bed – she knew she was home!
We later introduced her to the others…Bootsey was a little apprehensive and decided she wanted to play chase and follow her the entire day. Dukers fell in love and tried to smooch her until she clawed him and Diesel just stood back and watched it all. By Sunday she was all over the house and lounging – learning all about The Charnock Lazy Sunday!
Last night at 2AM when I woke up, both dogs and both cats where in our bed…I suppose everyone is comfortable and the family is complete!
