It has taken 3 months but Princess Lia has finally turned into a proper lap cat. This is a great achievement, given she spent her first two weeks with us hiding under our bed.
She was such a timid frightened little thing, who had spent the previous 2 years in one cat rescue centre or another. No one wanted to take her on, as she was so frightened of everything and everyone. I suspect she had been mistreated by someone in the past.
It has taken a while to gain her trust, but the transformation is now complete. She has blossomed into such a beautiful, affectionate, loving, sweet natured little girl. I'm so glad we decided to give her a chance to have a happy life with us.
She is just so gorgeous, and I love her to bits. 🐈🤗
Happy new year to you all, and I hope it will be a great one for all of us.
What a great story. So glad your love is rewarded in this way. When we first came to Australia our first 6 months was in a rented house until we bought a house here and our neighbour had 3 cats, none of which were allowed inside their house. One was a tiny, skinny tortoise shell cat, we later renamed Miffy. The neighbours went away for a week and left their cats to fend for themselves. One day Miffy was lying on our drive unable to walk. I suspect she had been kicked by someone. I carried her inside and cared for her until the neighbours came home. Later she returned to our house each day. As she was so skinny I used to feed her. When we moved into our own house our kids asked the neighbour if we could take Miffy with us and she agreed. 18 years she lived with us and I still miss her when she died, she was adorable. Cats do seem to find their forever homes. So glad your princess has found hers .
@onewing What a very lovely story.......so happy for the years she spent with a loving family.. BothLia and Jack have settled so well.....but extra pleased tht is trusting us too.
@cutekitty Thanks Kitty. I am sure you will have lots of stories about your latest fur babies. You and Billy are such kind people.
I thought I was following you, but you seem to have disappeared. I have remedied that now though and will follow again. Happy New Year.
Love changes everything. Thank you both, for resquing her, and give her that warmth and love. And what an adorable picture, with all those lovely and matching tones. That needs to be printed and framed.
This photo couldn't be more perfect. I love the browns and oranges and the way Princess Lia matches it all! So happy to hear she has grown to trust you both and is purring and happy in her new and final home. Happy New Year! Such sweet wishes to us all. Thank you, Swillin' Billy Flynn!!!!
