We Rescued Min-Min, Who Turned Out To Be The Most Lovely Little Girl You Could Imagine

ADVERTISEMENT

Little Min-min turned up on our doorstep one morning, desperately ill, starving and absolutely covered with fleas and ticks and . . . man what a mess she was. Funny thing is, all she seemed to want was to be picked up and paid attention to. After a very much needed bath and lots of food and clean water, it was off to the vet for a check-up and to be spayed, then back home for a good two months to recover her strength and to allow her natural beauty to come back from where it had been hiding.

We had other sick cats at the time, so Min-min ended up going to live with a cat-lady friend of ours, who sends us regular updates on her progress, along with lovely photographs of her.

For anyone thinking of getting a cat companion, or wondering if they should rescue that smelly, sick-looking cat that keeps hanging around mooching for food, I have no hesitation in saying DO IT. Until you’ve experienced the wonder of a lost animal coming back into the world all healed, well, you’ll see what I mean. They ask for nothing and give back more than you’ll ever need.

    Evil eyes, but really super sweet

    She was very rough around the edges at first

    Min-min’s absolutely favorite position

    She was so malnourished that her whiskers broke off!

    She was such a tiny little thing

    Sleeping in safety after who knows how long

    Playing ‘kill the box’!

    Sometimes she looked too serious . . .

    . . . and sometimes she was just a goofball.

    Those eyes!

    Playing ‘attack the leg under the desk’, a perenial favorite of hers

    . . . and then she was introduced to catnip!

    Which piece of newspaper to attack first?

    Legs like matchsticks, but getting better every day

    In all her glory, well on the road to recovery

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
