Today is Cousin Earl’s official first gotcha day. He lived with our grandpeep before she got sick, and today marks the day that he became a true “cousin” by belonging to Aunt Orvis.
Earl had a rough start in life, the victim of some kind of accident that caused him to have a foreleg amputated during kittenhood by a veterinary hospital affiliated good Samaritan rescue program before our grandpeep adopted him. Our grandpeep had a dog who ate cat toys, so Earl didn’t grow up with toys like most cats. So he didn’t have a traditional upbringing. When our grandpeep started to get sick, she moved in with our aunt, and Earl came with her.
It was Earl’s first chance to have wonderful toys, interesting scratching loungers, and even high tech gadgetry of his own.
He has lots of great cat TV to keep him occupied full of the most interesting neighborhood birds and squirrels.
And of course, all of the plush sleeping places a cat would ever want. Sometimes he even gets them to himself without having to share them with Cousin Shep!
So happy gotcha day, Cousin Earl! We are so glad you’re our quirky little cousin!
Happy Gotcha Day, Cousin Earl!
★★ Happy, Happy Gotcha Day, Sweet Cousin Earl! ★★
