One more library off my bucket list

I just found a picture of her almost 4 years ago when I picked her up from the shelter. Four months old, skinny, sick, with poor fur, and freshly castrated (shelter took care of that - I wouldn’t do it that early).

They told me ‘Oh you’ll be very happy with her, she doesn’t play or anything, just lays around.’

What? A cat? No, not a cat - a kitten?

I worked from home for three weeks until she got better. Carrying to the litter, feeding her, giving medication, grooming… She seemed she wouldn’t grow to ‘normal’ cat size, she was that sick.

But as the time went by, she got better. And the ‘kitty that doesn’t play’ part? Of course, she didn’t care about that *then*, she was fucking miserable in that shelter.

You all know what comes next, my laziness to get these pictures in a collage.

We moved a few months ago, so this little bastard now has twice the space than before. Yes, she still has a hard time getting accustomed to the new environment and a pretty much love-hate relationship with my future husband, but we’ll get there. I’m very proud of her for not trying to escape to our previous place (although she was crying the first whole night). Happy 6th birthday, my love!
