LightHeartedMaam -> RE: Looking for sympathy from cat owners (7/17/2007 12:40:38 PM)

I love it when an animal adopts me. Just recently a large brown tabby shoved his way through my front door. I put him out and told him he had the wrong house. He was very clean, declawed, and neutered. I already have 4 cats, 3 dogs and a parrot I rescued. My husband was not going to take him in kindly.
2 days later, he showed up again looking a little bit worse for the wear. I put him in my laundry room with water and food and a soft bed and a personal litter-box. It was just going to be overnight. That was 2 weeks ago. I've put up fliers and looked for something indicating he belonged elsewhere. Nothing. This cat is perfect in personality and he eased himself slowly into the cat brood we have here. He responded to the name Chuck. BBC- Big Brown Chuck. My husband is resigned that we now have an additional cat and is warming up to him. (but I wish he'd stop calling him Upchuck).
I have lamented pets I have lost until someone told me, that they come to us in times of our lives where we needed them most. Like everything on this planet, they too have their season and job. Oliver's mission was done. You loved him. Could be you needed to be loved at the time he showed up. Be happy for him you gave him the venue to accomplish his mission. I feel the best complement you can give to a pet, so loved, that is passed, is to give that love to another pet or person. Tis the lesson they teach us :)
