In the past, I have overheard my cat helpers say that all stray cats
choose their people and I thought how odd seeing that we were
trapping so many cats weekly for TNR. None of the cats had chosen us
they were terrified of us. After they were sterilized and vaccinated,
we would release them and they would runoff. My cat helpers would
then say, the cat did not choose you.
I
never thought much of the cats choosing their people until the other day.
You see two years ago a black kitten ventured into my yard and into
my flower window box. That kitten wanted into my house, he wanted to
live with me. Regretfully my husband said I could not take in any more cats so I instead fed the kitten and gave it fresh water. Set up an
outdoor house for it and took care of it while it lived outdoors.
A neighbor asked if he could have the cat and I thought that would be
wonderful. However, on the day I went looking for the cat it was gone.
We later learned that a family who walked past home picked up the
kitten and took it home.
Two
years later, my neighbor tells me that the people who had taken the
black kitten had moved and abandoned the cat. In no time that cat
found its way to my house and once again sat in my flower box.
When
I went out to see the black cat, it did not run from me. Instead, it
meowed and came to me. He walked through my legs and rubbed all over
me. I suppose this black cat that crossed my path when it was a
kitten had chosen me and now two years later it came back to me.
Here
are some photographs
