After my first trip to the vet for shots & tests I knew that Abbott was officially my cat (I had just picked out his name that day).

I had already posted signs over the neighborhood about the lost cat and figured if anyone showed up now they needed to reimburse me for the vet costs (Abbott needed treatment for Fleas & mites). Even then, the wouldn't get the cat back until after I made sure he was fixed.

But no one loved Abbott enough to respond to the signs I posted everywhere. At least once a day while I cuddle with Abbott I think about what Abbott must have been like as a kitten and who the selfish bastard owners were that didn't love him enough when Abbott outgrew his kitten stage.

I think there is a special place in heaven for those of us who give our love to cats - especially homeless ones like Daddy & Abbott
