Happy Thanksgiving

 

A new month and a new member in the household.

 Meet Simon Moon Shadow, after the workmen finished picking up the tree debris he was following them out and I asked if he was their cat, I went to the back and he followed me asking the neighbor behind me if he was one of theirs, he wasn't, he didn't belong to any of my surrounding neighbors. I ran some errands and he was waiting for me by my door when I returned. I scooped him up fed him with the food I just bought, I searched the few shelter sites and neighborhood sites, he wasn't posted on any. Wednesday he had his first visit to the Vet, first to see if he was chipped, since he wasn't he had his first vaccines, he is scheduled to be neutered in a few weeks. He is the most affectionate cat, he has 6 toes on both front feet which makes him extra special. He showed up on the full moon with an eclipse and his coloring looks like he has moon phases. The night of the 8th I kept dreaming cats and the Cat Stevens song Moonshadow kept playing in my dream. It's been more than 20 years since I've had the desire for another pet, I believe the Goddess sent him and he chose me.

Tomorrow Simon will be with me a week, his bloodwork came back negative for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), he began treatment for fleas and heartworm and he has a hearty appetite. I can't believe how quickly this little guy stole my heart.
