Dusty
came to me when he was seven weeks old, and he had already been with
two previous owners. I adopted him as a companion for my fourteen-year-old
cat Molly (male cat - long story), who lost his buddy Cookie to old age
a couple years ago. I decided it was time for him to have somebody to
keep him company during the long days while I was at work. I've never
been without a cat at any point during my adult life, and my enjoyment
always comes from their willingness to curl up and cuddle either on my
lap or next to me. He was such a cute little bundle of energy and so
much fun to watch and play with, but at first did a lot of biting and
attacking, and didn't seem to be much of a cuddler. It was suggested
to me that he may have been taken away from his mother too soon, and I
don't really know what he had been through in his short life before he
came to live with me. I was beginning to worry about Molly, whose aging
bones just weren't up to this challenge! But sometimes we have a visit
from a four-year-old Chihuahua, and the two of them give each other all the
exercise they could possibly need by chasing each other up and down the
hallway.
Dusty is now six months old, and little by little he has inched his way
into my heart. When I sit on the couch in the evening, he has started
sneaking up on the back of the couch and resting his paws and chin on my
shoulder. And when I come home from work every day, I sit at my desk to
check my email, and he hops up and slowly stretches his way across the
keyboard to let me know that he's more important. He watches the
monitor as I show him the pets of the day, and sometimes tries to "help"
me with my email by adding some interesting keystrokes. And now he
joins Molly and me by curling up next to us on the couch in the evening
and he settles in comfortably. I can't speak for Molly, but I am so happy
Dusty is in our lives.
