Dear Jon,As you know our beloved cat Pringles (left) had to be put to sleep yesterday as she had become very ill and could not eat, drink or walk anymore. As you can imagine we were all very sad and feeling a bit down in the dumps but today a little furry angel in the shape of a tom cat from across the street came to cheer us up. We had gone out shopping and when we returned Samson (we found out later that is his name) came across the road meowing and wanting to be made a fuss of.
He had just moved into his new address and had come to pay his condolences. It was just what we needed. We fussed over him and then he went and lay down where Pringles used to lie next to the radiator. We had a word with his owners and explained the situation and they said as long as he wasn't a nuisance he could stay for while. Samson (below) the bereavement-counselling cat! It's as if some one up there knew we needed a bit of help at this sad time and sent him to cheer us up a bit. It's a funny old world!
Regards
Davey C
I'm so glad Samson was available without an appointment. And I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you will get another kitty when you are ready.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words YesBiscuit. Just an up date on Samson. He stayed with us until 9.30pm and then I took him home but first thing this morning he was at our door, meowing. His owner came looking for him 3pm but when she saw how comfy he was on "His" cushion she said he could stay.I think Samson feels we are not ready to be left on our own yet.
