The Look

Newt was abandoned as a kitten and somehow lived outdoors and survived for more than two years. When she showed up one day on our doorstep it was a cry for help. We began leaving food for her but she would only eat if we weren’t visible. It took almost a year for her to get on to my lap (no hands though), and more than a year before she felt safe and trusting enough to walk into our house. It helped that another winter was near • She’s our Warrior Kitty, so strong and smart • Now she’s ten years old and only occasionally goes outdoors and when she does it’s usually not for long. I watch her to protect any birds or squirrels that wander near • This is the look she gives me when I’ve asked “Do you want to come in” too soon. It happened this morning. She was enjoying the sun on her fur-fur and didn’t want to be disturbed. Mothers! Not long after a gust of wind sent her running for the door. She’s currently curled up sleeping in a basket • Happy Friday! Today is Leftover Friday in our house :) • Enjoy a peaceful and joyful weekend!
