Some of you may remember how Cousin Shep joined the extended family a year ago, but we know that we have new readers since then. Our grandpeep had just passed away, leaving Cousin Earl alone all day while Aunt Orvis worked. Cousin Earl lost both his companion cat, Nellie, and his human in the space of six months, and now he was alone all day while Aunt Orvis was at work. It was time to find him a buddy.
That buddy came from the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, in the form of big, easygoing Shepherd, who we call Cousin Shep. Even from his first vet appointment, pictured here, he was totally chill.
Like any cat, he loves a good box.
And he gets really excited when the best programs come on the cat TV.
He’s always there to help when it’s time to get ready in the morning.
And most important of all, he keeps Cousin Earl company.
Happy first gotcha anniversary, Cousin Shep! We’re so glad that you’re part of our extended family.
Happy anniversary!
Happy Gotcha Day, Sheppy!!!
Happy, Happy Gotcha Day Cousin Shep and here’s to many more to come.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
