Lots of "Magoo" pics!!

[catcrazylady]

Debbie it was hard for me to remember too! We all thought that was such a stupid name! I can't remember now who came up with Mr. Magoo. I'll have to do a search myself to find out who it was.
I have gone back and read some things before and it feels like a different life time. I was pretty much hysterical, guilt ridden, confused, and sick about the whole situation. I really can see/read my border line hysteria! It's a wonder you all put up with me!!!

Lisa - I did search and believe it was rkidrcats that first came up with the name. I think it is Pippin's middle name, too.

Was this all back in THIS April?? SHEESH - seems longer than THAT!!! More like last YEAR!

This is a really good thread though - all about your first impression and meeting of Magoo

Yes, I DO remember those roller coaster days! I remember the phone call too I wasn't on the same ride with you, but I was feeling some of the nausea. I really gave up on him, too CCL. I was ready to ease your guilt because I did not think you were gonna be able to hold out I underestimated your stubborness. I mean, I WANTED you to keep him - but I also wanted to be ready and supportive if you did NOT - and I know *I* would NOT have been able to hold out - after the bite especially. I was trying to be a cheerleader, but I was not really feeling it I remember asking you to go to bed one more night and pray yourself to sleep and that I would do the same and ask that you would wake up peaceful!

Everyone was so wonderful and supportive no matter which way I went. I remember a lot of "confessions" came from that situation. People told me things that were very hard for them to talk about and I learned so much about so many PT people. All of it was wonderful!!! I think Magoo made most of us reach down inside and wonder where the limits were. How much is one expected to do before giving up. I have to agree that "stubborness" had a lot to do with it. I think once I realized that life in a cage at our house was better than that tiny cage in the shelter was better than nothing then I relaxed some and let things take their course. I have to give tons of credit to the hubby because I was teetering on the edge of confusion and he could have easily pushed me over to the "take him back to the shelter" side.
Once I knew he was staying I allowed my heart to open up to him and the long winding road began!

Yes, it does seem so long ago! You were a great cheerleader and my wonderful nurse! I couldn't have gone through all of this without all of you!!!
I say it all the time but I MEAN IT!!!!

Mr. Magoo! Oh I love you so! When I visit PT the first thing I look for are new Magoo threads, hopefully with pics! What a sweet boy who has come SUCH a long way. BTW my Mitzi grabs my hand like that when I'm petting her. Definitely a little kitty love-lock! We are so blessed to have cats that love us back so much that they don't want to let go.

What wonderful heartwarming pictures of our beloved Magoo! I can't believe it's been only a few months since Magoo/Ocular (yick ) was introduced to us all! With all the trials and tribulations that have come up....it really seems much longer ago! Kisses and face shmooshies to Magoo!

[prechrswife]

I don't think I have posted on any of the Magoo threads, but I have been following his story closely. Those pictures are wonderful to see! I'm glad things are going so well.

Was it only THIS this past April?? Gee, it seemed like a longer road than that but it just shows what a LONG way he has come in a short time!

For everything and everyone, that comes into our life, there is a purpose. Magoo came into our lives to show what love and patience can accomplish..

Now...I recall seeing only ONE photo of our little love with his Daddy. The one where Dad was laying on the floor acting as a barrier to keep him confined to a certain area.. What about some of some sweet moments, or curled up in Dads lap? Show that wonderful man to his fan club with our sweetheart!

If I recall, it was he that said "HE STAYS HERE!"

[catcrazylady]

OK! I'll post another thread of magoo and his daddy and hopefully a couple of videos if they turn out. Check back in just a short bit.
I aim to please my PT buddies and I don't think you guys can get enough of Magoo!

[jazzzytina]

What an angel Mr. Magoo is...and what a sweet story! I didn't know it either since I'm new - that is so wonderful that you adopted him and loved him so much - he is such a deserving kitty and you are a wonderful meowmie! Thank you for sharing that link so that we could see his beginnings again!

[trayi52]

Lisa, as usual, I just want to cry when I see how far you and Magoo have come! I know he is one special boy, and my favorite boy of all. He is so derseving to have a wonderful home with you, and the love you are giving him.

Funny, everytime I see a picture of him, I know anything is possible!

Magoo, you are number one, boy!! You found your way into every heart here at Pet Talk. We all love you, Magoo!

What a happy happy Mr. Magoo

This heartwarming story makes you smile and cry at the same time.

Catcrazylady: I am so happy that all your investment in time and emotions and challenge payed out so wonderfully.

Oh, what a great way to start a Monday!! What sweet pictures of wonderful Magoo!

CCL, I’ll confess. When Magoo was having all of those problems at first, this is what I thought would happen: I thought that you would probably keep him, b/c you don’t seem the type to go back on a commitment to a kitty, even when you would be perfectly justified in doing so. But I thought that he would always be more of a duty to you than anything. I thought he’d live in his cage, and be a constant source of stress because of his biteyness. I certainly didn’t think he’d turn into a love muffin! And so soon, too! Hearing how much you love him, and seeing how much he loves you, just makes me want to hug you both. So, here ya go. ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Yay, Magoo!!!

[catcrazylady]

(((((HUGS))))) back at ya Twink!
I remember the turning point for me. When I knew for certain that Magoo wasn't going to become a constant stress between hubby and I, and when he made the statement that Magoo was not going back to the shelter that is when I opened up my heart. I think I was so afraid to before that because I didn't want to get hurt if I had to give him up. Once I let go and took down the heart wall...Magoo didn't have chance!!!

I also thought he would live his life in the cage during the day while we were at work. I'm still amazed daily at his progress. Lets not forget that the meds have helped him stay calm through all this. Thank God for them!!!
