Odin finds a home

When the man saw me curled up on the road in the snow, I got scared and ran from the big sound. But he stopped and got out of the car and he knew the secret words, "kitty kitty." That's when I knew he was my savior, so I ran right to him. He took me to his house and this nice lady fed me and bathed me and now I am happy to be safe, full and warm and have a lap to curl up on. Heck, they even gave me my own potty because I couldn't get into the big one. But even with all the good, I sure do miss the familiarity of other cats like myself.

These people are real nice but their other animals don't seem too sure about me. I feel happy but still kind of alone so I cry a lot. All I want is to be friends and play and curl up together. See what I mean? Arther (that's what these folks call this big guy) won't even look at me.

I just couldn't take it anymore, I had to try and in doing so face the possibility of complete rejection. Arther wasn't too sure about it when I nuzzled up next to him...I thought he might take a hike...

and he was kind of taken aback, but I didn't give up...nope, not me...

and pretty soon the big guy gave in and said it was ok if I slept there with him.
I guess he just couldn't resist me. I notice I have that affect on others.
Now I am feeling real comfortable here, real comfotable.

p.s. They named me Odin.

  10. All these comments have warmed my tiny little heart and caused a big smile to spread across my keeper's faces. I am purring with delight as I dictate these words and climb all over my human mommy. I'm so glad she understands catspeak so I could say thanks.

    love, Odin

  12. How gorgeous!!! Dont forget to have your vet test the kitten for felv/fiv and bartonella virus...its common in strays and can be passed to your indoor kitty....the felv/fiv snap test can be done within minutes...the bartonella takes a few days. Bartonella can be cleared up with antibiotics. Good luck with your new kitty...i have a black one and a white one too!....(amongst other colors lol)
