Nuestros Dulces Gatos by David Arbogast, on FlickrWell, crap, my focus missed - got the ear in focus, not the eye - but I don't care. I just wanted to capture a moment I have been waiting months for: Our two rescued cats accepting one another and snuggling.
Mindy (named after Mindy Kaling from The Office), the dark tortoise-shell was found starving and abandoned while were were picnicking at a West Point Lake park in June 2018. We were not planning to keep her, just wanted to get her some food and get her to the shelter. But, we fell in love with her and after a few days deciding to keep her. We were stunned that our yorkies accepted her, since they always love to chase and bark at cats.
Again in August of this past 2019, I was taking a walk in the West Point city park and I ran across another pitiful abandoned kitten. Again, we had zero intention of keeping her and tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade my aunt to take her (though she did give her a name: Parks) But, once again we decided to keep her.
When we brought Parks home, the yorkies again quickly got used to her, but it took until the last month for the two cats to fully embrace each other. Now, they make a tremendous racket playing hard with each other. Warms our hearts and give us laughs!
Two is our absolute limit. We cannot rescue any more cats at this point.
