    May 2nd

    Ashley and Calvin came to live with me one year ago today.

    When I lost Y.Lee in April of last year I knew I would give another cat a home. But I needed a special cat since my Y.Lee was the best lap warmer in town. And he was alsl the most empathetic cat that ever lived. So I could not pick just ANY cat to fill his shoes.
    So..... Charlie wanted a calico, we never had one. But me, I was never partial to the females. Never the less we saw Ashley and she was beautiful and friendly and well adjusted. (it took her exactly 5 minutes to fit into the 8 cats living at my house at that time).
    But then there was Calvin. In a room meant for the shy and fearful cats. The ones that no one ever looks at because they meant work. The ones that don't just come and sit on your lap. The ones you need to workhard to gain their trust. And he sat, looking at me through the wire. GORGEOUS! and actually calling me (telepathically). I asked if I could go in to that area. "yes". The attendants were amazed that Calvin let me pet him and how he stayed around me and did not run up into the rafters. I needed him, because he needed me.
    But he would not fill Y.Lee's shoes by a long shot, but Ashley might.
    OK......so you know the outcome.
    Happy Anniversary kids.

    Happy Anniversary, fur-kids!!!
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    Happy Anniversary Ashley and Calvin! You certainly landed in an awesome home and I wish you many, many more wonderful years with Jen and Charlie!

    Jen, I am trying to figure out who is in your Avatar? Is it Ashley? .... or maybe Rutherford or Willow?

    A lovely story Jen.

    The part about Calvin made me think of when I got Ebbs. Not the same of course, Ebby and I didn`t have the affinity of you and Calvin, but because she was being past over too, because of her reserved manner, as one of the staff said at the time, `she doesn`t sell herself`.
