Two Years!

October 18 is Henry's Gotchaversary; we brought him inside from outside two years ago.

He'd simply appeared in our backyard, then he stuck around.

Someone had already TNR'd him

Henry was very scared for the first year inside, then we took him for a dental at the vet's.

He returned that afternoon a changed cat, as the staff told me how they petted him, and he responded.

He's been a sweet kitty since.

Using my arm as his pillow.

No cares in the world.

And he's eating!

Henry's finished his chemo.

Have hit a span of time where he's eating what we set out, and his 'output' is solid.

Here's hoping we've got years and years ahead of us!

❤️ Love you, Henry The 9th ❤️

Thanks to the Cat Distribution System for pointing him our way.

  13. I wish you many happy returns of your Gotcha Day, Henry!

    We had a cat at the shelter who was mean and cranky, then had a couple of bad teeth pulled and became the sweetest cat. All the meanness was from mouth pain, and it’s possible Henry was a sweetheart the whole time, but simply was in pain. It’s hard to be nice when you are hurting.

    Since then, if a cat is crabby or mean, I wonder about the state of their dental health.

  16. With cats all over your neighborhood he could have gone to any other house, but he came to yours and waited for you to get with the program. What an honor. Con-cat-ulations!
