Scully really bonded after we had had her for over a year. I was grieving my previous cat and I think she was grieving, too. I've always felt like that. I think we helped each other.
How I even adopted her was really weird. It was a few months after my previous cat had died. My husband was pushing me to adopt again but I wasn't ready. One day, I woke up, and i KNEW that my future cat was out there but I had to get her that day. I even know where I had to get her. The weird thing is that I had never even heard of that rescue until that day.
So, I went to that rescue and e we looked at a lot of cats. I was even willing to take an animal that had health needs because I'm an NP.
Then I saw her. She looked so sad, and I was sad, too. It was like we both recognized something in each other. The moment I got her home was the last moment she EVER looked sad, again. 😍
Like I said, we're healed each other. To this day, I don't know why THAT day was the day, but it was. 🤷🏻♀️I think that was your day for both of us.
I had the exact experience. I had been looking and one morning at work it was like a lightning bolt, I HAD to go to the shelter that day. Waited in line for them to open. Then because I was hanging back I saw her in someone else's lap and I started to panic because I knew she was the one. That beautiful girl blessed my life over four states and 15 years.
Love this story. Sometimes the cat is just the one.
I went to 17 different places before getting my Harley (RIP). We went into this shelter 45min away, and my only criteria were 'kitten' and 'not black and white'.
Walked out with a 5+ year old black and white boy, who crawled into my lap as soon as I sat down and refused to get out. I just... how could I not? <3 He was the loudest, wonderfullest, sweetest lap kitty.
