A present to you…Bruce.

Can we get another cat?

Can we get another cat?

Even with my heart of stone, I have a soft spot for success stories. Although this cat doesn’t have an official name, we are calling it Bruce as no one is sure if it is a boy or a girl.

Laura guesses this little guy is about 10 weeks old and has been abandoned by its mother. It managed to survive for all this time all by itself and eventually found its way to Brookes and Laura’s back yard. Due to some careful placement of tuna and good luck from the neighbors, Bruce was rescued.

As I write this I think on how Bruce was cowering in the corner when I first arrived. Brookes brought him out and we showed him humans can be helpful. We left after 20 minutes or so and grabbed a bite and when we came back Bruce was already making kitty strides forward. We had to drag it out of its lovable corner again but once it realized the love it was receiving, it gave in. With fear in his eyes as each minute grew, the tension eased. By the end, the cat was on his belly receiving petting like never before. What life is made of.

To think that this cat would probably have perished in the wild on its own is a testament to mankind. This cat was left for dead by its mother and now, possibly, has a long term home with lovable parents. Success story like you read about.
