We Adopted A Stray Cat And He Can’t Stop Showing His Gratitude

ADVERTISEMENT

Angus was a stray who showed up at my husband’s work. He lived under a dumpster for six months (through the wettest, coldest winter we’ve had in a long time), before they could finally coax him out with food.

The day my husband text me about him to try to find a home for him, I went to pick him up. First, we took him to the vet to check for a microchip. When there was none, I spent several days checking lost pet signs, groups, and rescues. No one came forward so we tried to find a new home for him. But by that point, it was too late. He was ours. Now, he’s chipped, collared, and immunized.

Angus is a rumpy riser manx cat. He’s always content and smiling. My dog and other cats have accepted him and he loves to go hunting in the large field behind our house with our other boy cat at night. We love having his sweet personality in our family and can’t imagine letting him go!

    Even after a bath, he still smiles (He’s had several, he was filthy!)

    Afternoon scratches

    Good dreams

    Bookends

    And often the tongue

    So far, he’s brought home three mice, one large moth, and a leaf to share with us

    Good morning! Will you get my breakfast?

    That looks delicious…

    Lazy afternoons

    A common sight. He loves to be touched

    We adopted a stray a few months ago and he is the sweetest most loving kitty ever. He always comes up to us and gives us kisses before he eats his food as if to thank us. Our girl kitty is the total opposite and devours her food before ever glancing our way. Strays make wonderful pets.

    DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP. THAT GRATEFULNESS WILL CHANGE INTO ALOOFNESS. AT LEAST MY CHER DID--THO THE LAST TWO YEARS OF HER LIFE FOR SOME REASON SHE BECAME A LOVER. BECAUSE IT TOOK HER 13 YEARS TO BECOME A LOVER CAT I REALLY APPRECIATED IT WHEN SHE WOKE ME AT 4AM FOR FOOD. IT WAS AN HONOR TO SERVE HER.
