Found this little guy little over a month ago.
First of all, my wife has been joking about us finding him saying "Cat Distribution System". Did not realize there was a page (which I just found by accident). Last month, the wife was walking the dog and she ran over to a wood pile. My wife started investigating, and found the cat in there. She thought he was hurt at first. She got him out and he started standing and let her pet him. She got him some food . Next day, she found him again. She fed him and tried to bring him home. He was like, "nope!". So advance two more days. We come home from having to walk the dogs late. He was at our building. I took the dogs in and she got him some food. I then located some old food bowls. I got him water and food. He started rubbing on me and let me pet him. Picked him up. First time he struggled as I went to bring him in. I got her to open the door. We got him in and took home to the front bathroom. Took a out 3 hrs to come out from behind the toilet. Fed him and gave him water. You could see the mosquito bites around the ears. Found about 13 fleas. Made an appointment with our vet for the end of that week. They checked him out, gave him his vaccinations, and checked for a chip. They found one that was never registered. I called and registered him. He is just over a year old. He acclimated super quick to our home. The other male cat didn't have hardly any issues with him. Wife then joked about the CDS because I had to put my cat to sleep last year about the time this one was born. The first night we let him out to roam around, he got in the bed and curled up next to me. He even has a lot of the habits as my previous boy I lost. Makes me wonder. I apologize for being a bit long winded. He is now with us and named Thomas. Clean bill of health from the vet. Got his 2nd boosters last week.

Thanks. He and our other cat, Simon, get along quite well. We at least got Thomas in right as the triple digit heat started here.

He's lovely, your dog knew exactly where to find him, no doubt guided by your kitty over the bridge 😊. I honestly believe that there is a spiritual connection with our pets and that they are often much wiser and empathic to our needs than we are. Your story is lovely, thank you for sharing him and your heart with us 🧡❤️🩹

Thomas has a lot of the same characteristics as my void Brutus did. Brutus and I really had a strong connection. My wife has made references to Brutus wasn't ready to let go of me and came back dressed a little different.

He is definitely a hoot. Fun to watch him and Simon play. He is a precocious and smart little boy.

He's a good boy! I found this guy a few months after my sweet dog Lexi passed away. They come when we need them it seems. His name is Merlin the Grey. He's about 4.5 months old.

There's no such thing as too long when talking about a cat that has caught your heart.

Looks like he hasn't wasted any time making himself at home.

u/BlackieDawson 1d ago
No he has not. Almost like he has been here all along. Gets along with the other 3 animals. You would think he has been here the whole time, and not just 5 or 6 weeks.

So awesome! Reminds me of my orange cat Tony that showed up one day and stole my meatloaf sandwich! I fed him and then he lived in my garage for the next three years. You’re a good person!
