(6,163 posts)I smiled watching the videos. It was so uplifting and reminded me of the kitty I rescued from a high kill animal shelter approximately 45 days ago.
Her shelter name was Princess and she was estimated to be approximately 2 years old. She is a small, beautiful grey and black tabby with long to
medium fur and a bushy tail. Unfortunately, she had been a stray and was on a course to be euthanized shortly. At first she was scared to death
being in a strange environment and it didn't help that she had been spayed earlier that day. I am sure she felt crappy.
She did not know what a treat was or even what a cat toy was for. All she wanted to do was hide.
But I did find the way to her heart and it was by stroking her fur and talking softly to her. In other words, showing her love and affection.
Now, not quite 40 days later, she prefers to be by my side at all times and has enriched my life immensely. She enjoys the laser light and the
feather wand....and loves treats.
Why she likes to sleep on top of me, I am not sure, but suspect it is to keep tabs on me! I am also treated to nightly kitty massages.
We continue to work on a few issues such as her thinking that my dinner is HER dinner and that the trash can is open for scavenging but she will
learn in due time.
I kept the name Princess because she is a princess in my eyes. Corney, yes, but I am a sucker for animals.
Aren't animals wonderful?
