My two precious babies. Sinatra (AKA Mashed Potatoes) is my Flame-Point Himalayan we rescued about 6
My two precious babies. Sinatra (AKA Mashed Potatoes) is my Flame-Point Himalayan we rescued about 6years ago. And Mama Michonne, the classic short haired Tabby. I found her and her brother half a mile away from my apartment. We got Sinatra during a really dark point in my life. My first true relationship, plus new high school and my mom fighting another bout of Cancer. After my ex abused me for about a year and left I ended up in a psychiatric ward for about a month. Then we got him. And he was filthy, covered in tangles and weighed about 7lbs at a year old. He wouldn’t let me touch him for almost a year. And I will always remember crying to my mom because all I had ever dreamed of was having a cat and this one didn’t want me. And then, that night, I woke up for some reason and he was in the middle of my room. He looked at me, and then ran towards my hands purring. It was another 2years before he felt safe enough to leave my room. He is my soulmate and the most precious soul you will find. Michonne came later. After I had moved out with Sinatra, I found her walking to downtown with a friend. Her and her brother were in a bush, with no mom in sight. Couldn’t have been more than 5weeks old. And we decided to take them to the pet store downtown. But when I tried to hand her over, she just screamed and screamed at me. From them on, Sinatra had a baby sister to love as well. Recently however I have left her with my parents after the family dog died. And she became not this cunning and sly kitten I had known, but a deep comfort for my dad grieving. We raised my puppy Mushu from 8weeks. And he died in my dad’s arms at almost 17. Sinatra will never leave my side, and I visit Michonne and my parents often, but I am so proud of the love and healing she has given them. And Sinatra? Follows me everywhere in my new apartment. And always makes sure to stand guard at my son’s room and bring his toys to my boyfriend. They really are the best. #longpostislong #sorry #ijustlovethemsomuch #actuallymademyselfcryjustnow #loveyouguys(submitted by @sociallydisfigured) -- source link
