Sally and Bossy
Last June when I heard it was Adopt a Cat month, I decided it was time to welcome a couple of cats into my home. It had been almost a year since the passing of my 16 year-old cat, Spaz, and I wanted two cats who could occupy each other when I was gone during the day. I knew I could provide a good home, I just never thought I could love any cats the way I loved Spaz.When I stepped into the cat rooms at the FKSPCA, Sally and Bossy (formerly Eureka) chose me. Even better, I was told these sisters had a strong bond and had to be adopted together, or not at all. The next day, as they meowed their heads off in the car on the way to my house, I had second thoughts. But after a few days they warmed up to me, and it didn’t take long before they made me part of their pack. I call them my little lovebugs now, they’d be happy with belly scratches all day long. They’ve maintained their strong bond with each other, and every day they make me laugh–they love to play with toy mice, chase each other around the house, and boy do they love the portable heater, even when it’s only 70 degrees out.
You would never know they had spent a few years at a shelter, the way they immediately adjusted to life at my home. I hope if people read this Happy Tail, they’ll consider welcoming an older cat or two into their homes as well. There are so many sweet cats just waiting for belly scratches at a forever home.
