My Aunt and I had gone to Norwich to buy some horse food and look around Country Max, our favorite store these days. On our way home, we took a country road and happened upon a wayward cat sitting in the middle of the road. He was very scared. We asked the only person who lived nearby and he said that he'd never seen him before but that people just drop cats off in the middle of the road all the time. Apparently so, because he had several cats that he had taken in from the same situation.
Well, Aunt Sue and I brought GOLIATH home. Since he wasn't neutered yet, we put him in the barn. We don't have any outdoor cats around our neighborhood and my four cats are house cats. Goliath was still very nervous and he disappeared for about twenty-four hours. Then, Kevin (a friend who boards his Quarter Horses with us) said there was a cat sleeping in the hay.
Well, a week and a half later Goliath is the king of the barn. He winds in between the horses legs. He has a little kitty hut where he sleeps leisurely during the day. He has already left us gifts of dead moles right next to where we keep the grain. I guess he felt he needed to contribute to the food pile. He is very cute and snuggly.
My friend Dona, of Little Mews Cat Rescue put me in touch with All Animals Matter and he will be neutered on Friday at Compassionate Care in Norwich. We are so happy to have him around. The horses even seem to enjoy his presence.
