Board 8 > Successful cat story today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had a cat I shared with a couple in NYC named Felix, because us artists are so creative.

We got him 9/2/12 from a crazy Coney Island cat lady who claimed she was a vet, but I'm not so sure just because she had needles. She had dozen of cats -- a dozen or two caged in her kitchen, another two or three dozen roaming free in her basement with a few dogs -- and we found our sweet ole' Russian Blue Hair there. She injected some shots and gave us a "birth certificate" that said something like "Meemee's litter came to us three days old on March 15th, 2013"...so his birthday was 3/12/13...which means our cat was from six months into the future.

We nicknamed him Future Felix and immediately felt better about our creative naming skills.

So anyway, the deal when we got this cat was this was our cat until we roomies split ways, and then Felix would be their cat. We moved apart in 2015 so I lost my furry friend, and then in 2016 my roommates moved too -- we all returned to Tennessee but in different cities. Felix made the move with them.

Well they had a baby last year and just two days ago Felix attacked the baby, so they decided right away Felix had to go. I can't have pets where I live, and the friends I thought might have kept him as a house cat weren't interested...thinhs were looking grim.

They decided to take Felix to a no-kill shelter that day and we all thought that was that. The drop-off was made and everything.

I called my dad to tell him the news, and this man who's been swearing against having any more cats suddenly offered to take Felix in. Whaaaaaaaat. I've even asked Dad about this in the past before and he said no, so I didn't bother to ask this time -- he just offered.

So the shelter gave us Felix back and now he's with my parents!

He'll have to become an outside cat, so that has its pros and cons...but Felix gets to stay within the family of our original NYC trio and we're all really pleased.
