Today is Holly's anniversary
Today is the 9th anniversary of Holly's adoption. This is Thanksgiving (in
the U.S.), and she is one of the very special reasons I have for being thankful on this day. My wonderful cat, Amber, had died a few weeks earlier -- actually, I had to make the incredibly difficult decision to have her euthanized at age 16, after a long illness where it was apparent that she could no longer have any quality of life. I had a few days off for Thanksgiving, so I went to our local animal shelter the day after Thanksgiving to look at cats and kittens. They were closed, so I went next to a local pet supplies store. They sometimes had kittens that people had "dropped off," but the cages were empty. I got into a conversation with one of the women who worked there, and she said "would you consider...." It turned out that she had rescued Holly from a breeder who had mixed an Oriental shorthair with a Persian and then was dissatisfied with the results. The breeder wanted "dusty gray," but Holly is solid black (gorgeous and marvelous). We made arrangements to meet the next day, and that was the beginning of my wonderful life with Holly. I adopted Duffy on Feb. 1, 2003, so now there are three of us -- one cat times one cat became double the pleasure and love! Happy anniversary, Holly! (born in early June, so she is now 9-1/2 years old) -- MaryL (take out the litter to reply) Photos of Holly and Duffy: http://tinyurl.com/8y54 (introducing Duffy to Holly) http://tinyurl.com/8y56 (Duffy and Holly "settle in") |
