Thankful Thursday

On By foguthIn Uncategorized

This post is purrticipating in Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, and since Ms. Purrseidon asked me to host today, I’m pointing out that, for Mom, Christmas came very, very early this year…. AND I am very, very thankful that I didn’t need to spend all those months in the shelter waiting to be chosen.

    1. Ms. BellaD, the first few days weren’t exactly smooth, but things started to smoother when Rumble decided he was going to be my furiend, no matter what I hissed…. He just up and pounced on me, wrestled me flat then bathed me better than even my mom ever did! And that broke the ice. Things were still rough, but they got better day by day… I now even like being petted!!!!

    1. Ms. BellaD I thought it was just me they despised! Oh my, I wish you hadn’t had such an awful experience too!
      I’m mostly over my PTSD, but still don’t handle ‘situations’, like new people well. Not like Rumble at all when it comes to that… The neighbor dog barks and Rumble races to defend our fence while I hide and try to see if there is an eminent threat. Rumble is fearless, absolutely fearless. I want to be like him.

    1. Greetings Brofur Kosmo. I was adopted in late October and Ms. Purr introduced me on Halloween. Have you met brofur Rumble? He’s the one I hang with most of the time – loads of fun, since he is only a couple months older than I am. (I’m about 4 1/2 months old) … the older cats don’t seem to have much energy. We love playing together, chasing chameleons, climbing trees and all sorts of fun stuff… the older ones seem to be very fond of either people-watching or napping.

    1. Ms. Bella, I know you know purrcisely how difficult it is for us dark furred cats to find furever homes. I hope you were treated better than I was at that awful shelter! Dreadful experience. Simply dreadful! It took me days to realize Rumble wasn’t a bad guy and the way he loved the folks made me want that, too… it was very, very difficult to overcome all my fears, and I still am not as fearless as Rumble or Ms. Purr, but I’m truly a different cat than I was when I arrived here. This will be my very first Christmas, so I don’t know what those still in the shelter are enduring…. And I shall never understand why some seem afraid of my fur. I’m actually a nice guy.

      2. Out shelter isolated me and it was very cold. Horrible place. It was like being put in solitaire confinement for some crime I was unaware of. Rumble and I compared experiences and his was totally different from mine – when he left, they even let him keep the toy mouse and blankie he’d had in his cage – and his cage was much larger and in a warmer place. All I got to keep was memories.. It took me weeks to get over my fear of hands.
