Cat

She was not a happy cat.

She hadn't had the chance to be a happy kitten for long. She was still quite young when she ended up in a rescue centre, where she waited patiently, washing her pretty white socks, hoping for a forever home.

She was adopted by a young woman who loved her and looked after her. But humans don't always have forever homes either, and Cat's new mummy had to move to somewhere else where she couldn't take Cat. She didn't want to put her in another rescue centre, so she asked her Mum to look after her instead.

Mum was fond of cats, and that was the problem. She already had two. They were rough tough cats, and they didn't like the new girl. They bullied her, and she had to hide. When a new young couple moved into the street, and were kind to her, Cat became very fond of them, but she was still shy.

Is there a happy ending? Oh, yes. Cat's Mum was very happy for Cat to go to a home where she'd be loved and safe, and the young couple were happy to have her. So Lovely Older Son and Lady Sunshine now have Biri, who is still shy, but settling in. There are no other cats to keep her away from the food or beat her up. She can find a warm place to lie down without anyone chasing her away, and she lies there washing her pretty white socks and looking adorable in her forever home.

Aw! Glad that all is working out for Cat. Cats do sometimes like to take matters into their own paws when it comes to where they live.

They do,, don't they. Scruff, the cat in Saturday's blog, once deserted us for three months, found a new family, and then came back and stayed for the rest of her life. She was punishing us.
