The City Kitty

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently moved. It was just about a month ago and one of the most difficult things about this move was leaving two of my three cats behind.  They are good friends and the renters wanted to adopt them so, after a lot of careful consideration and much consulting of several cat-loving friends, I decided to take the chance. After all, I could always come and collect them if it didn’t work out, right?

The third cat, Sweetie (AKA The Big Guy–he weighs in at 7.5 kilos) came with. He’s very attached to me so I couldn’t consider leaving him behind. Last year, I was away for the month of September and he went on a walk-about until he was sure I was home. Yes, I was concerned–he’s lived all his life in the country, so to speak, and my new home is in a city-like suburb. Small apartment, no free-roaming safe space, big dog in the yard…it wasn’t an easy decision but I didn’t want him to go on another walk-about so I took the chance.

The City Kitty relaxing  I’m happy to say that he’s doing amazingly! He’s become an absolute angel–all of his bad habits have completely disappeared! He is absolutely the best cat ever, and he is adapting to city life beautifully. Maybe he just needed to be the only cat? I don’t know, but he’s an amazing companion and I’m so happy! He’s even made friends with the neighbor’s cats and goes next door to play with them whenever he can.

Oh, and the other two are doing very, very well too. They greet me when I come to visit as if I never went away. They love their new owners and vice versa. Both are bright-eyed and bushy tailed and seem very happy.

Yesh! That’s Hebrew for…Yesh!!!  :-)
