Often times we say we didn't find our pet, they found us. Does anyone have a cool story about how your pet found you?
This isn't about my Yorkie, it's about a cat that I had. I was young, in about the second grade, and our family cat had just passed away. I was begging my mom to let me get another cat. She finally gave in and agreed to go look at some kittens for sale. I found a kitten that resembled Tiggey, our old cat. I just had to have her! So we brought her home and she kept wanting to wonder off into the pond beside our house. Mom was afraid I would follow her and fall into the pond so she told me I had to give her back. I was heartbroken. Being brought up in a religious family I knew if I needed to pray and ask for another. So that night mom said I got by my bed and said, "God, I really miss my cat. I really want another one. Please answer my prayer and let me find another cat." Mom said it was the cutest thing and she just went on to bed.
So I go to school the next day bummed. All I talked about was getting a cat. I didn't ride the bus because mom worked at our school so we went to a fast food restaurant after school and then went straight home. I was sitting at the kitchen table and asked mom if I could go out to play. She said sure, just stay in the yard. So I opened the back door and there was this cat staring right up at me. I yelled at mom, "there is a cat! There is a cat!" She thought no way! Sure enough there it was. I asked if I could keep him. She said as long as he would stay, he had no collar, but reminded me he would probably run away. I grew so attached to him right away. I named him Blessing.
That cat never left! LOL He would walk me to the bus when I got older and had to transfer schools. Mom said once the bus left he would go on the porch and wait for me. Blessing hated everyone that got near me. He bit my brother because of it, he still has the scar. Blessing got hit by a car when I was in junior high. I was so crushed. We buried him in the back yard. I feel as though Blessing was my angel that was sent to heal the hurt.
I truely believe he found me.
