My New Cat

[EvenStrongerNow]

I saved a cat yesterday who was scheduled to be euthanized today. I am going Monday to pick him up.

I'm thinking of naming him Anju, which means . . . one who lives in heart, but I'm not sure yet.

I attached his photo.

He looks very sweet! If you don't already have a cat: he will definitely help you feel better each day. ;)

He is soooo sweet. I don't already have a cat. It was my hubby's idea so that I have a friend to hang out with and take on car rides. I love cats.

When I first saw him, he was inside of the plastic container in the corner just laying there. He would not come out. I started walking around to each cage and petting other cats. When I came back, he came up to the cage and looked at me. I swear he said to me, "Please take me home!"

I put my face up close, looked right in his eyes and said, "Would you like that? Do you want me to take you home buddy?" He meowed, gave my fingers a love bite and then started licking them. I walked inside to ask which cat was scheduled to be euthanized the next day, which is today. They told me him.

I adopted him. I walked back to his cage and he was laying down again. He wouldn't come out to see me again. He looked so depressed. I told him, "Don't worry. I am coming back to get you on Monday. I will be back. You're not going to be abandoned or abused ever again!"

My wife and I have five cats. They are life savers. I am very close to two of them since I got them after my first wife and I divorced. It was just the three of us for a while. (They aren't big fans of my wife!) Anyway, when I am having one of those endless PTSD nights where sleep is impossible due to nightmares, they stay by my side. They don't sleep......they just sit there and watch over me. I think that they know something is wrong and are trying to help me in their own way. It is a good thing I got remarried. I was on my way to being a crazy cat man.

I have a cat also. I got her a year ago.

Sometimes I lay in bed unable to sleep and she comes and snuggles up to my head and purrs. It soothes all of the thoughts and sometimes I drift of listening to the sound.

This little one is going to love you with his whole being! Anju is a lovely name. Most cats have a way of bringing a sense of calm into a place. They can be so peaceful and when they feel loved, they return that love a thousand fold.:):)

That is so wonderful! I love cats and I love that you saved him just in the nick of time.
