@77yangya growing up we always had dogs and I considered myself a dog person and still do. When my father was alive he always told me if I wanted a cat someday he would bring me one. Well my father passed and one day a cat “appeared” in our yard during a winter snowstorm. Long story short I brought her in despite my husbands protest. She was gorgeous , orange Persian/Hymalayian long hair she was A very special Cat so I always assumed my father had sent her to us. Well we had her for 17 years and I was beyond heartbroken when she passed. I swore I would never get another. Well two years later during Hurricane Irene I rescued an abandoned kitten in our yard. I was torn, that night when I went to bed I had a dream of my cat with the kitten and I rook it as a sign from my cat to let this kitten in our lives. That was 9 years ago and we appropriately named her Stormy. Three years later my daughter found two abandoned kittens hanging in to life and brought them home. The vet said the one would probably not survive because he was too small. Well after endless hours nursing them they both survived they are black and the boy is a polydactyl, his name is Sonny I found it appropriate because he was the first male I ever had be it dog or cat, his sisters name is Layla.
Well two years ago when I was caring for my mother we came home to a litter in our neighbors yard. My neighbor is not a good person and I feared for their safety so we learned them to our yard and cared for them. There were five and with the help of my vet three were adopted. The last two
Lived at the Vet because he wanted them to be adopted together because they were bonded. Well every day we would go and play with them but no one was adopting them. I couldn’t take it anymore because they would sit and look at the door for us to arrive. SO against my better judgement we brought them home. I never thought I’d see the day that I had multiple cats, but having 3 was like having 1 and 4 is like having 3. The boy is also a polydactyls , he’s a tuxedo and he’s huge . His name is Thumper. His sister looks nothing like him she must have manecoon as she is long hair , before we knew she was a girl I had named her Tigger , so now she’s like Tiggy because she has very short legs. But I her nickname is Rowdy Roo. We just found a home for another kitten and we have another one we are searching for a home for. I live in an area where there are a lot of feral so we do some TNR with the help of my Vet.
