Hi there. I'm new to actually owning a cat. I've pet sat cats before and for the past couple years of my life. But I've never actually owned a cat.
about a week ago While on a Facebook page, I saw a post about a cat that was abandoned and the owners moved and left him there because they didn't want him anymore.... She had been taking care of this cat on her front door step for the last year or so. Shed put blankets in a box, some food and water out and check on him every time she went for a smoke. She noticed one day that it was really cold and it was only going to get colder. She had previously tried bringing him into her home before but the two cats she already had did not like him at all. They would his claw and everything else. The SPCA would not out him,for adoption... The most they offered was to take Elmo and put him,down to end the possible misery..... So though I've never actually owned a cat before, I picked him up and brought him into our home. My daughter is three and she loves him and he loves her. I cannot get over how relaxing purring is when youre trying to fall asleep, etc.
he's very calm, relaxed, and content with having a warm safe place to call his own home.
I just thought I would share our story...
he is an unfixed male cat a little over a year old. If you have any advice on what I should look out for, let me know I've never actually watched a male cat that wasn't fixed. Thanks in advance.
