Hi, my gorgeous cheeky Boy, today is 6 months since you left and is my first new year in 9 years without you
I remember it was March 2000 when i said to my neighbour i am ready to give my heart to another cat(It was after loosing my babies Piccolo and Bambie in 1998/99) We drove to Mayhew and here was this tiny friendly tortie which we opened her pen and she was all over us so i went to pick my bag from the floor and i saw you
Big black cat holding my bag and licking the handle :)I dont know how you got out of your pen but i said to my neighbour he chose me and i cant leave him so we talked and i thought i take you and the tiny tortie. It was then when we were told you need to go to a home with no other cat or kid and def no men cos your first owner a guy used to kick you around and you were rehomed 3 times and returned to Mayhew at the age of 4
What they didn't tell me or didn't know was that you were really scared of people feet, loud voices and men
They reassured us that the torttie could find a home easily cos she was friendly but you!? Well sweetpea you came home with me that day and i remember i changed your name in the car from Oscar to Boy because i thought this is the first day of the rest of your life x I also have to say you were the first black cat which came to my life and i had no experience with , so the first week you were with me i walked in to my bathroom with light off not knowing you were there and my foot touched you and well that's when i learned how deep you were scar
I ended up in hospital that night but i learned to leave the light on afterwards and tbh i didn't care when friends thought i should take you back cos i just KNEW deep down you are a beautiful and kind Boy and well Ruth post says it all
For 3 years you sat by the door and hissed and tried to scare people cos you were scared yourself and then you became the most loving cat which didn't stop purring for six years and opened your heart to DD, Jim, Mr Tramp and Phoebe. My beautiful brave Boy i shall always remember you with a big smile. You loved life and were bigger than life and shame on the people who didn't give you the chance to shine. Happy New year.x Miss you so much baby Boy
