Recovering from my wounds. I was a hungry Gray Boy!

Mommy's Handsome Gray Man.

Hi Fellow Kitties,

My name is Rupert. I have a really neat beginning, I think. Way back when I was just a baby kitten in my Mommy's tummy an Angel Cat named Dusty from the Bridge visited me and told me I had a special mission. He said he had to leave his Mommy suddenly and too soon...but I could help fill up the hole in her heart by being her special Gray Boy. Well, I didn't even know I was going to be Gray at that point! And I didn't know it would take me over a year to find her, either. I had a hard start, and no home but I kept looking for my Forever Mommy wherever I went...and one day, I found her! But I was very shy and didn't trust people much. This was in late January.

I was hungry though, and the lady & man that lived in the house at the end of the street in my territory noticed that I needed feeding up, so they started putting food out by the patio door where we could see each other. Pretty soon I came in regularly and I got a NAME! I started to hope that this was The Place.


Now, I have a real weakness for deli meat and the lady figured this was the way to get me to come to her. What can I say, it worked...by June I was letting the lady pet me and I liked it. In fact, I liked it so much I fought the other cats around to keep the lady to myself...and another cat bit me in the bum and I started to not feel so good...


In July the lady noticed I didn't like my bum patted any more and that it didn't look quite right by my tail--she had never picked me up before but because it was 118 degrees outside and I looked sick she decided that I needed to see a vet ASAP. So dressed in a leather coat and oven mitts (in case I went spastic, in fact I was a limp noodle) she grabbed me up and took me INTO my forever home! The lady was my True Mommy; I knew it the minute she picked me up and cuddled my sick little self. The very next day I went to the v-e-t and she drained a big abscess on my bum and de-hoohaed me. I was a very good patient!


I recovered and remembered all the things that Angel Dusty taught me: I rub on Mommy when she gets out of the shower, I play with Mommy's wet hair, I sleep with my Mommy, I am Mommy's Boy, and I healed the gray hole in Mommy's heart. Some day I know that I'll meet Angel Dusty and he'll be very proud of me...but I hope not for a long long time. Because, except for that dang Maui (who likes to beat the stuffing outta me) life is Very Good.
