"Three weeks after learning about Caesar on the radio,
I finally decided to take a trip to Animal Friends to see
him for myself. Am I ever glad I did! Taking one look at
this great big ball of feline fluff, I knew he was meant for
me. Little did Caesar know as I snuggled him into my
car on that cold January day, he was about to meet Belle
and Alberta (my 11 year-old and 19-year old cats).
Belle, who does not like new folks, instantly decided that
she needed to inform this male intruder who was boss!
After playing it safe for a day, hiding under the bed and behind the corner table, Caesar elected to "make nice." And now, Belle and Caesar, my new wide-faced kitty with the great big paws, are more than just friends, they're sweethearts! (At least Belle thinks so.)
At 12 years of age, Caesar still loves to play. Catnip toys are his favorite. His daily routine remains the same: Eat a big breakfast, sit on my lap, take a long snooze. What a life he has! And he deserves a good life. After his owner died, he was shuttled from shelter to shelter. "Stressed" is a good adjective to describe Caesar upon his arrival at Animal Friends.
But Caesar is stressed no longer. As he sleeps curled up on my bed with Alberta and Belle by his side, I wonder what his life would have been like had I not been listening to the radio one January morning..."
