On a visit to a shelter we were on our way into the room where all the cats were. I was last inline - as I stepped into the room I looked down and to my left - this little kitty cat looked up at me and stole my heart - the choice was made and we took him home.

One day he was crying curled up in his bed by my desk so we took him to the vets - his kidneys were in bad shape and he had to stay there. When our bill reached $600 the vet phoned us asked us if we wanted to carry on with his treatment. A few days later we were able to bring him home.

On one occasion when he went for his vaccinations he fought so hard they sedated him to give them… no I'm not joking!

The vet thinks he may have been a barn cat.

Now he sleeps on my right side - literally on my body - sits between the two wash basins while I have a shower and loves his little head kissed.
