Jazzcat, your Mom knew your concerns about this guy so she came and whispered in his ear "There is no need for you to fight anymore, you are safe now where no one or nothing will hurt you and you have SO many people who love you, including my daughter. It is time for you to trust humans and to accept their love freely and without limits. You now, can be the special kitty you are and be a great example to inspire others to care for handicap kitties that they would have otherwise overlooked. That is what "The Plan" is for you and you have to do your part now. I will watch you and guide you when you need it but you will be OK now that you know what your mission is in this world."

(of coarse she spoke to him in "kitty talk" so he would understand.)
