Need a happy story?

Years ago, some inmates where I work found a newborn kitten in the prison yard. No sign of mom or any other kittens. The inmates tried to give it milk, but with limited resources, weren't having much luck. They begged me to take it home, but I had several cats already and knew I couldn't. (Though I was trying, in the back of my mind, to think of what I could do if no staff member wanted it.) I felt so helpless. Most of the people I work with don't like cats and the people running the show would have called animal control.

Well, there was an instructor from the college who was there to teach Human Resources or GED classes. She agreed to take the kitten home. She quit teaching at the prison soon afterward, but the last I'd heard the kitten was doing well. I remember she said it slept in the bed and liked "making biscuits" . I'd never heard kneading called that before.

For some reason, I was thinking about that kitten just last night. And would you believe I ran into the teacher at a thrift store today? She said that she still has the kitten, her name is Fred, and she's 10 years old now. She said that Fred is her four-legged child and is in love with her DH to the point that it is almost sickening . I couldn't believe it...I haven't seen this woman in 10 years and was excited to hear that the almost doomed kitten ended up with a happy forever home. (And had I brought it home, the kitten would have fallen for my DH and ignored me...because that's kind of how it goes here, too.)

That's awesome!!

I love happy kitty endings!!!

That is a happy story indeed.

A feel good story

We started with Hercules who was MY kitty and would cry whine and moan when Bf was at work and wait by the door for him...Enter Fatman...fell for BF and they both became BFs cats...Enter GiGi who is BFs other woman....Now we have Bacon/Jules and Ramsie who now both have fallen in love with BF and ignore me when he is home....I caught Bacon/Jules (we are having permanent name issues with her right now) sleeping curled around his neck this morning when I woke up...

I'm going to have to get myself one of those dog animals.

I still can't get over thinking about that kitten and then running into the teacher the very next day after all this time has gone by. (I wouldn't have recognized her, but my friend did.) I should visualize myself winning the lottery and maybe it will happen.

That's a heartwarming story - and maybe you should try the lottery!
