Crazy Cat Lady!

This story starts last year. When Randy and I moved out of his first place in Erin Woods we adopted his roommate's cat Rascal.



We renamed him Theo and everyone knows how much we love him! It was crazy for me to want to take in a cat because i used to definitely be a dog person! As my dad says: "Cats are evil, they'll eat your eyes out!"

So then when we were getting married Randy asked me what I wanted for a wedding present. I surprised myself and said I wanted another kitty!
So after lots of days at the SPCA we ended up with an SPCA cat but from my friend who adopted the kitty because she was about to be euthanized. We were so blessed to get this little kitty and we named her Audrey.


Now my family likes to joke that I'm the crazy cat lady! Well my friends, I admit it! I am!

Last night we were coming home from having dinner with my parents and we say a stray cat. We see this little cat all the time. It looks like Theo, and sometimes we mistake him for Theo. This cat also likes to peek in our windows. Well we had never gotten close enough to this cat until last night. He came up to me and had TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE matting all over him. (If you know anything about matted hair on a cat, it twists their skin so much it makes it so they can't perspirate and they bruise up and it's the most excruciating pain) It was so bad that I think I hurt him when I touched him. I wanted to keep it sooo bad, I almost started crying and told Randy we needed to save him!

We made some calls and found out that we can take him to a 24 hour hospital (as this was a friday night at 10 pm) and they would take the cat in. We dropped him off and it broke my heart so think i might not see this cat again. (He's one of theo's friends, and i think theo misses him now!) We would never be able to pay the hospital bills because the cat has to be shaved under sedation, so we had to give him to the hospital.


(this is the cat we found last night. looks just like theo!!)

So now I'm trying to convince Randy to let me adopt this third cat, because theo needs his friend/girlfriend back! I'm hoping he'll let me!

xoxo,
Crazy Cat Lady
