Julio
is not a rescue but a second-hand cat. Last summer I lost my
precious black and white tuxedo, Pepe, to a sudden illness. I wanted to
adopt a new cat to help heal my heart, but money for getting one fixed was
an issue. Then one day I came into work and saw an ad on the buy/sale
board. A coworker was in the process of looking for a rental house and was
having trouble finding a place that would let her keep pets. The cat (then
called Kilala) was already fixed, up-to-date on his shots and free to a
good home! All I can figure is that Pepe must have pulled some strings in
heaven to bring Julio to me.
After a rough week of hiding and scurrying in his new home Julio finally
got comfortable and took his place as king of the castle. Since then he's
enjoyed a life of belly rubs, one-way fetch (he'll chase the ball but
won't bring it back), bathtub arena tail chasing, and bird/squirrel
watching. It seems that the only thing that gets him down actually makes
him get up high - he gets on top of the refrigerator to escape the monster
called the vacuum cleaner. Julio is full of love and makes me laugh every
day. I often have to work long hours and Julio makes my hard day disappear
by greeting me at the door and then immediately flopping onto his back so
he can get his chin and belly rubbed. He might just be a cat, but Julio
really makes my days brighter and happier.
