All my life I suffered from urinary problems. My first family got so tired of me, they locked me outside. It was scary since they had taken my front claws away, but I survived. One time I got so sick I couldn't go to the bathroom at all, they took me to the vet. I don't remember much right after that. I know I waited and waited for them to come get me, but they never did. The nice people at the hospital tried to make me happy, but after so long I started getting scared to come out of my cage. At first, I was happy to wander around the hospital at night when one nice lady let me out, but after a while, I got used to staying in my cage and just didn't want to come out.
My new mommy came in one day and was so very sad. Every day she came by many times and each time she cried. I tried to make her smile and she would for a few minutes, but she told me she was worried about her Chloe. I didn't understand how someone could care so much and spend so much money since my people abandoned me when I got really sick, but I realized she was a special person. I began to trust her. She was allowed to let me out of my cage and I let her pet me. That was scary for me but she didn't push it.
One day, she came with this really fat thing she called Jack. He tried to smell me and wash my head, but I hid from him. The next thing I know, she was back and tried to put me into a cat carrier. I panicked and tried to run away. I scratched her and the nice nurse at the vet. Somehowe, they got me locked into that awful box, but in a short while, I was let out. It was like going to a playground for cats. I had all the food and water I wanted. I had boxes to potty in and toys as far as the eye could see. My new mommy left me alone and didn't try to hug on me too much. She showed me where everything was and left me alone to sniff on that fat thing she called Jack and all the other stuff in the house.
I was skeptical since my first family abandoned me, but even when I've peed on mommy's expensive rugs and ruined them, she never yelled at me. She even felt guilty for not realizing I was sick. I think I'm the luckiest cat alive. I am sorry my mommy lost Chloe, but I am so glad she found me.
