TAZ: This is my Gotcha Day, so I want to meow abut it.
I am very focussed on TBT.
If he goes into the bedroom, I do too. If he takes a shower, I get in there and sit on the counter. I'm the only one of us who doesn't panic at the sound of running water. When he is preparing his own dinner, I am right at his feet.
I am on his lap more than any of the others. At night, I sleep next to him and purr loudly. OK, he really isn't too fond of that, but I am so I do that.
Why? Well, he came to the Shelter Community Room one day. OK, he was looking for another cat but that cat didn't like him (his loss MOL!) But he sat down and I came right over (Binq was a few seconds later).
Anything to get out of that place with some mean other cats and all those barky dogs. But then he brought me home. I don't have clear memories of my time before The Shelter. TBT says the Beins there said my former person said "he had too many". And I do kind of remember being crowded a bit.
But I knew that I was sure in a better place! And I always want to be where he is. Well, OK, outside in the yard is good too. But when he calls me, I run. And he says I am the fastest runner since Skeeter (at his best).
So I am sure happy here.
And some more pics...
BINQ: And it is my Gotcha Day too. Taz may have gotten to TBT first, but I was there right after. He just seemed the right Bein, ya know? All friendly and happy to see both of us getting on his lap.
Like Taz, I dont really remember much before the Shelter. The place kinna makes ya want ta forget things. We were there because "something dint werk right" before.
And while Taz adapted to the new home, I was slower at it. I was really cautious for months. I'm doing better now. I go out on the deck. I sit on the arm of the TV chair next to him. I grab his hands to bring them down for head scritchies. I eat anything he puts in my bowl.
I have recently slept on the bed at night. And when I dont, I run in when he awakens and dance all around to get his attention. And I always get it.
I feel so calm here..
Taz and I think we are the luckiest cats on Earth. We went from places that didn't want us, to a Shelter (where we probably had only a limited time to be adopted), to here. And "here" is pretty darn good.
So today, on our first Gotcha Day, both of us are really happy.
Not exactly us, but this is pretty close... We liked it..
