Lifesaving Buzz!

[catlover11]

I am glad I am not the only one who is preaching about keeping cats indoors. Things are not the same in the world today as they were when I was little - although when I was only 9 my very special kitty Whisper was killed by a car and I have never gotten over that he left us that way when we were supposed to keep him safe. Another cat disappeared after I moved out from my parent's house but they still let their cats out - I did not. And I promise you my cats are very happy and loved even though they are indoor cats. There really are too many dangers outside - please think about this: we don't open the door and let the dog out to run free and expect them to get home safe so why do we do this to a much smaller and fragile animal??? Very often they get hit by cars, poisoned by neighbors, attacked by other animals, abused by kids - need I say more. Your Buzz saved you (as my cats have saved me) so please save Buzz from the often cruel outdoors and you will have his love for much longer.

Dearest Buzz, what an adorable young orange-with-white-touches boy you are! You are so sweet, lying upside-down and smiling as cats do, checking things out from the porch as a tiny kitten, and, best of all, cuddling up with your dear friend JoJo! You look so soft and pretty, I wish I could reach all the way to Liberal, KS and pet you, and JoJo too! (But since I can't, I hope your loving Purrrson will pet you both for me .)

You are not only beautiful to look at, you have a delightful Purrrsonality, too. You are full of energy, and you make your family members smile with all your antics, running around and playing with your sister JoJo, then sleeping after your hard work. They love you dearly, and you love them dearly right back. What a delightful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Buzz (and JoJo), on being selected today's Cat(s) of the Day! We hope you both and Bob Angel and Sugar Angel and your whole family are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.



P.S., to Buzz's family: I am joining in with others here to say, PLEASE keep Buzz and JoJo indoors! You have already had your heart broken by the way-too-early loss of beloved cats: first Bob was hit by a car, then two and a half months later Sugar died suddenly and mysteriously, perhaps from poison ingested in his travels or in the garage, like antifreeze, which cats love the taste of. And Buzz came along to help heal your heart, but then he disappeared for 13 days. Through pure luck or chance or blessing he made it back home, rail thin and dirty. There are way too many threats to cats outdoors, and it is not that difficult to transition them to indoor life or supervised outdoor life (e.g., build them an enclosed patio, or take them for walks on harnesses).

Please give this some thought. Thank you, and God bless.

Congratulations to you Buzz on being chosen as COTD. You are indeed a very special little guy and most deserving of this honor. It is so good that you are there along with your sister JoJo to help your Mom and fill the emptiness in her heart due to losing Bob and Sugar. We know all too well how hard it is to lose beloved little ones like them. It hurts so bad. May you all be comforted to know that Bob and Sugar are both waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge and until you meet again, they are both looking down with love and watching over your family. Buzz - we wish you a very long and happy lifetime with your Mom and JoJo. Stay inside where it is safe
