Happy Gotcha Day to my tiniest boy, Zeke — aka Lil’ Pancake 🖤
One year ago today, I drove Zeke home from a cat sanctuary in torrential rain. He cried the whole drive and got so scared he released his anal glands, and I was just so nervous for this little guy! He grew up in a large semi-feral colony, and he is (still) the only one who made it out. We truly didn't know if he was adoptable, and I wasn't sure how he'd handle living in a house after being outdoors for so long.
Within an hour of arriving home he was sitting in my lap, purring and enjoying belly rubs. In less than two weeks he fell in love with Desmond, one of my other three boys, and follows him around like a lovesick puppy to this day. And over the next month, he blossomed into the silliest little clown, becoming the most fun-loving and easy-going guy. He acts like being a pampered house cat is all he's ever known.
Zeke is proof that cats are resilient, adaptable, and extraordinary. He fills my heart with such warmth every single day. Here's to many more years with this absolute doofus.
