Time to put an end to the reign of tech-related posts. Meet Monty:
My wife had been thinking of adopting another cat for a long while now. She wasn't
sure when to do it.
She was pretty shaken after our last pet goodbye, just a few weeks before moving back to the
east coast. Our old lady, Bella, was super close to her, so it hit her the hardest.
I could sense a new kitty was coming in the last couple months, though. The signs were there, checking out shelter webpages every other week. And one day, she told me about this rescue, and it is a boy so it should be easier for him to get along with Suzie[1], and poor thing he lived on the streets and...and few days after, Monty was home.
He was really scared the first couple days. He had been moving between foster homes, and wasn't really fully domesticated since being taken off the streets - except for the litter box (luckily 😅). But he started getting more and more confident after about 4 days. And now, a month later, we can say he is definitely a house cat.
Still can't pick him up though, he immediately runs away. But he does come sit on your lap if he does it on his own terms, so it's fine. 😺
We should check with Suzie, to see how she feels about this, right?
That's her looking at Monty on the couch.
Not amused, I would say.
And no, it hasn't improved one bit since that photo :)
