Munchkin, I am so glad cats have 9 lives, as it gave you the chance to find your mum you have today and show her just how great of a cat you truly are.
While reading your story one question continued to shoot through my mind: "Who in their right mind could do something so cruel to such a sweet little guy?!" It is such a blessing that you crossed paths with your current mum. I am glad you gave her the message that you were not ready to give up. You have made it a long way and you have many years ahead of you in your new, loving home.

Hugs and kisses to you, handsome. I hope you get plenty of extra spoilings today.

Congratulations on being our COTD!
