PT Cruiser The Cat And The Gang of Six Part 32 

We could probably give you several good reasons to go out and find another cat to add to our family of six. We love and enjoy all six and couldn’t part with any one of them. But there has to be a limit somewhere. We’ve drawn it at six. We rescued all six from animal shelters, three of them right here at the Humane Society of Hernando County. We’ve driven as far away as Levy County and Ocala for the others.

 

Frankly, we think we’ve done our little bit to save some wonderful pets and give them a comfortable home and loving owners for the rest of their lives. We don’t ask much of them. We just let them be themselves. You can’t change a cat’s disposition anyway, but we enjoy them for what they are. Some are lap cats, some aren’t. Each cat has found a place, in fact, several places, where it feels most comfortable. A chair here, a chair there, under a table, a spot on the bed. These favorite spots change from time  to time.  And they have found a comfort zone with each of us. They trust us.

 

We don’t know the story behind each cat. Were they abandoned for a particular reason? Did the owners grow too old, or have to move? Was the cat a nuisance? Might it have been a very difficult decision to give up the cat? And did the previous owners wish for a happy home for their pet? I’d like to assure them that their cat is well cared for now.

 

If you have had the interest to read this post, any of the previous stories, or took the time to read all of them [you’d have to be some kind of cat lover to have gone through all of them] then perhaps you already have a cat as a pet. Could you see yourself taking care of another cat? Maybe as many as three? If you don’t have a cat now but would love one as a pet, would you take the first step to find one? We hope that these stories have entertained you, and perhaps interested you in adding a cat to your family.

 

Now for the facts in this little commercial. You can go to petfinder.com on your computer where you can locate more than 200,000 pets in need of a home. From turtles to horses. But especially cats and dogs. Takes a minute to log on and see all the animals looking for adoption in your neighborhood. You’d be amazed at the number and variety of cats that need a new home. 

 

If you do visit the site and you find a cat that thrills you, as our cats have thrilled us, please drop us an email to let us know. Then start your own blog on MyFox about Fluffy or Whiskers and tell us all about your Kittycat Paradise. And take some cute pictures. We are always looking to take another picture of the cats when they make a pretty pose, or play, or do something cute together.

 

If six cats have enriched our lives, perhaps a playful kitty cat can enrich yours.
