That's so great that you've adopted Beau and I can't wait to see pictures. He sounds so gorgeous, I love dribbly affectionate cats!
You're not a sucker, you have a heart to help, and I think everybody on here is the same, they just love cats. Until I came on this forum I really didn't believe there were so many people willing to help cats and were just so nutty about them. It's wonderful.
When I decide to get another cat to add to my two I'm going to go to the animal shelter and say i want your oldest, longest resident, the one that nobody wants please! It breaks my heart to think of cats being passed be cause they're old. I really don't understand the mentality of it. Older cats are litter trained and have a set personality that you can get to know.
Getting to know Jack & Sunny in the two years (almost the end of the month!) I've had them has been such a cool experience. Getting to know the things they like to do, what makes them tick, what they don't like, what foods they like, it's all such fun. I love it.
They were supposedly 9-10 years old when I adopted them, but that's not old compared to some cats that are in shelters.
I guess it's the same in society with people, nobody wants you when you're old :( and that's just a wrong that needs to be put right.
Moosmom, I can't believe a cat had been at a shelter for six years! That's just so long, and probably a 3rd of it's life. That's so sad. I pray she'll find a home and a loving one too.
