Sylvester was a little stray cat staring in the window looking at the tempting, plumb blue lovebirds in their cage in my study. It was love at first sight for me. Being a stray, he had to be caught and fixed and given some shots. Four months after that first sight, he got to the Vet and began to live the life of a carefree little guy. He weathered the winter months and the rain of spring before he was allowed to join the family inside.
That was four years ago and he was just over 1 year old.
He comes when he is called, he walks on a lead when we travel, and he sits on the front porch on a lead. He had gotten into fights and sick from eating nasty stuff outside and now he is content with his pampered life and the heat in the winter and the A/C in the summer.
He is well travelled and deeply loved by all who meet him. He started meowing about a year ago and now is quite verbal with us! What is not to love?
When I think of cruelty to animals, I am sickened by the thought that a human being could do those things to a helpless creature.
