I
first met Chester on July 5th, 2000. After a night of fireworks bursting
in air, I went out onto the porch. I heard a frantic meowing coming from a
tree in my yard. There, way up near the top of the tree, was a tiny black
ball of fluff with big golden eyes.
He was so terrified, he would not come down. Finally, after hours of me
bribing him and his extreme hunger, he came down. I scooped him up and
took him inside to a spare room I had. When he learned he was safe and
going to have regular food, water and bathroom facilities, he calmed down.
After a few days he went to the vet for a check up and his shots. The vet
said he was about six weeks old at that time. He was now part of my cat family.
I never looked for his owners. Anyone who would let a baby like that out
to fend for himself over the 4th of July no less, was not getting him back
without a fight. To this day he is terrified of sudden or loud noises. I
have a hunch I know who his owners were. There was a family in the
neighborhood who had a history of getting kittens then tossing out to fend
for themselves when they were about Chester's age. No one ever came
looking for him either.
Chester is special in so many ways, I could write a book. He is a talker.
He will glady share his opinions on everything whether you wish to hear
them or not. If you have a party, he will glady bring the cheese dip and
even play fetch with the lid afterward; just to help you burn off any
unwanted calories.
He loves Halloween decorations and posing with them. He is not a fan or
trick or treaters though and hides until they leave.
He has three cat brothers and three cat sisters. He is the oldest male. They tend
to pick on him because he is so easy going and will only swat back if he
has no choice. He prefers the easy going life style.
We hope that anyone looking to adopt a cat won't pass by a black cat just
because of its color. Chester is the sweetest, gentlest, most loving cat
in the world. He has brought lots of love, luck, and laughter into my life.
