    Saving one cat will not change the world, but surely for that one cat the world will change forever. Glad there are still people who care about these innocent animal lives.

      Saving that cat does change the world, or at least does it's part. The world can be changed one small random act of kindness at a time. Something a movie said, still rings true.

Like he got lost or abandoned and thought he'd never have that happiness again. Thank you for giving him love and hope again.

      Reminds me of a cat I had several years ago. She was a skitterish cat. For two or three years I'd see her now and then outside. Loving all animals, I'd be very friendly trying to get close to pet her but she'd always run. Then the neighbors moved and left her behind. For about a month or two I didn't even realize it. Eventually I and others started leaving her food. Over the course of a couple of weeks I got closer and closer. I "talked" to her by meowing to her. Eventually I could pick her up!! Then I brought her home and . . . well, she was amazing. She went from running away from me to sleeping on me! She didn't have many years left, I think just five or six it was, but she was . . . it's hard for me to think about, she was just wonderful. 🙂 ✌️

      similar story with my, now passed away, cat. She came around our (I lived at my mom's) door and we decided to just give her food. My mom knew the cat was from the neighbours across from us who had just moved and put a note on the door saying "your cat is with [address], no worries" because cats have a tendency to go back to the familiar place if you let them out right after moving. the neighbours came, they talked, and they decided it was the best for the cat to stay here

      (05/30/22) As you can see can see from my profile pic, I’m no spring chicken either. Never had a pet of my own but now living alone and getting my housing situated to welcome a senior cat into my household. Hope to get a female siamese as I think she was fit in nicely to both my temperament and living arrangement and her comfort zone as well. She would certainly welcome what I have to offer and too, won’t be bouncing off the walls like a kitten would. Jyst two seniors sharing space and chatting each other up is good thing. Just will try to learn ‘cat’ with time. We can stay the course with each other and avoid going batty by yourself in this era of Covid.

    When I adopted my cat the first thing I thought when I saw her was, “I’m not getting her”. And I don’t know why- she was and is absolutely an gorgeous calico queen. After being scratched to death by the other kitties at the shelter, a lady at the shelter put the cat in my arms and she began to purr! Eight years later I can’t imagine my life without her- she’s the smartest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She’s an inside-outside cat and the whole neighborhood knowns her because she likes to sleep in other people’s porches! And when I’m on the swing outside she hops up in my lap. Her name is Buttercups with an S, but we call her Schnoodercups.

I also like the fact that "mum" had some snuggle time and of course a BOX! Kitties need their boxes! I know it's like a "broken record" but I just won't ever forget the first time I thought, "I'll order this nice, rather pricey bed for 'Betty', she'll love it! She has to, it even says so on the box!..." So the bed arrives and I can just imagine what she was she thought, "Hmm, looks like they got something right! They put on the box 'your cat will love it' & they're right I love the box! I'll be sleeping in it..." 🤣

      I actually just made a comment about this. I think he lost his way to an old home, or got abandoned, or was the pet of someone who passed away. He seemed to know exactly what it felt like to be in a house. Strays and ferals rarely warm up this fast and usually hide or hiss instead. Bruce knew he was home. I'm happy for him.

    I went to our local shelter to get "a" (singular) cat. They have couple rooms with several cats in each. In each room I went in I had cats crawling all over me. In one of the rooms while playing with the cats I noticed 2 that just laid by their house. I asked lady about them and she said they brought in as "abandoned strays" and have been there for 6 months. They had a look on their face as if to say, "Why bother. No one ever picks us" which melted my heart. Long story short, I adopted both of them. When I got them home I looked at them and said, "Here's the deal. You just be yourself and my job is to earn your trust." It's been almost 2 years and they love laying on their back and have me rub their bellies....so I think I earned their trust.
