New kid in town. Okay, I feel guilty towards Bowie and towards what I said in my previous post. I didn’t planned to adopt another cat so soon, especially a young one. But sometimes you just can’t control the way your life goes. Let me explain…
I contacted a few local cat shelters to ask them if I could donate Mr. Bowie’s special diet food, medicines, hygiene products and other stuff. When I was checking out their websites I noticed a message about a 1 year old grey male cat who was dropped off in the shelter. The owner of the cat moved to a foreign country and didn’t care about his cat. The little one needed quickly a forever home because he was too anxious at the shelter. I decided to visit the cat. Much to my surprise the little cat immediately walked towards me. The other cats in the room weren’t interested in me. The little grey one started to rub his head on me and I could pet him. Maybe it’s a bit weird, but I felt some kind of connection. My heart melted and I decided to fill in the adoption papers. After a few days they called me and said I could adopt the cat. I was in cat heaven.
Jimi in the shelter
So welcome home, Jimi! Glad you decided to pick me. Let’s hope we get along and will be best friends forever. Now let’s take it easy and get to know each other better. I’ll keep posting on the blog and talk about my new adventures. And I’ll keep on talking about Mr. Bowie. We will never forget him.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Cats have a way of choosing their owners, even by kitty telepathy as in the case of Jimi calling out to you. That is fantastic for both of you, and I’m sure Mr. Bowie played his kitty spirit paw in helping Jimi find you. Our kitty’s spirits look out for us, always. I look forward to your new adventures and learning all about Jimi.
Thank you, Tim. Well, I have a feeling ‘something’ happened behind the scenes, or something was fixed from ‘up there’… Maybe Mr. Bowie had one last trick up his sleeve?
I think it was kitty collusion between Jimi and Mr Bowie. Happy outcome for all.
I think you are right about this, Tim!
Oh yes, Doug. I believe that too…
Special kitties seem to find their special humans one way or the other.
So true…
That’s a fact, isn’t it, Tim? Every cat I’ve had, no matter what the circumstances of our first meetings, chose me,, not the other way around.
Even the kitties that are rescued and brought to us seemed to have made the choice to end up with us.
No kidding! Louie the ginger cat wasn’t on my radar initially, but when I selected (I thought -she selected me, too!) little Freckles the tabby kitten at the shelter, Louie was in a higher cage prancing around and making sure I stopped by to check him out, too. He wasn’t immediately available, but I let the animal control officer know I would like to have him if no one claimed him. When he was available, I discovered he was a perfect kitty for me. (So was Freckles. She was a very sweet-natured kitty.)
When I see kitties at the shelters or rescue area at Pets Mart, I want to take them all home. They look so sad and in need of good homes with lots of love.
That’s why I try to avoid visiting cat shelters…
That is my response, too, Tim. I can understand how people become cat hoarders, so am glad I have good brakes when it comes to “Well, three cats aren’t too many…!” impulses. Well, three cats aren’t too many, but my landlord feels two are just enough, if not too many.
I sure something special happened at a special space…
I agree!
I think Mr Bowie sent him to you! ❤
It looks like he did me a great favour by sending me this little grey boy. A special reminder for saying he loved me!
He’s beautiful.
Oh yes he is! Thank you. You’ll see a lot of photographs real soon…
Aww, this feels as if it was meant to be Herman and we’re so happy you and Jimi decided to adopt each other 🙂🐈 Here’s wishing you both happy times ahead and we look forward to getting to know Jimi better too 🤗🐾💜🐾
Thank you so much, my friend! I was so happy to bring Jimi home today. I’ll keep you posted on how things will evolve… But I’m having a good feeling about it.
Hello Jimi, it is nice to meet you 🙂
Hello again, Mr. Herman – I can imagine you have some mixed emotions especially since Bowie passed away. However, I also agree, this young cat needed you, and I’m happy you have this connection.
I believe Mr. Bowie will also “approve” of your decision 🙂 Wishing you and all your family continued health and happiness.
Hi Takami. It’s really kinda weird, the shelter where I found Jimi wasn’t on my list because it wasn’t close to my hometown. I still don’t know why I clicked on their link and saw the message about Jimi. But I’m very happy that I did… 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind comment, my friend!
Oh, doesn’t fate play a huge part in life. Welcome Jimi, you don’t know how lucky you both are!
It’s really very strange that I found Jimi. The shelter where he was placed wasn’t on my list. Pure by coincidence I found their website… Looks like ‘someone’ was pulling some strings ‘somewhere’…
Herman I am so thrilled you have a new little forever friend. He’s beautiful too – I think he sensed you were “the one” at the shelter. They know things like that…..they pick US out, we don’t pick THEM out! Love the name Jimi – he will be a music lover. He will be respectful of the Bowie Vibes which will live on forever in your house but he will make his OWN mark as he wins your heart. He already has mine! I’m happy for both of you………………….
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
Hi Pam. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Actually, the story is really weird. The shelter where I found Jimi wasn’t on my list because it was further away. Pure by coincidence I hit their link and saw the message about Jimi. It looks like ‘someone’ wanted that I would click on the link… But I’m so happy I found that little boy…
When my cat Dolly died I planned to wait before getting another cat. 1week later Teddy came to live with me. Just not a home without a cat..or 2. Sounds like Jimi and you found each other. Maybe Mr. Bowie had something to do with it. I look forward to hearing how you and Jimi get along.
Hi Patricia. I had no plans of getting another cat so soon. Pure by coincidence I found Jimi. It feels like ‘someone’ was pulling some strings…
I think this is the beginning of a great friendship with that little boy…
Thank you for your kind comment!
❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Aimee!
simply the best…a new beginning & spiritual kinship
follow up: but sweet domestics are not congruent with shorthairs – associate 1 british too – build a team!
Haha… oh yes, it could be the beginning of a big thing!
Thank you so much, my friend!
He’s adorable:)
Thank you so much, Corrine! He’s really so cute…
He looks a lovely cat, looking forward to your blog posts about him.
He his so adorable and cute… Looking forward of getting to know him better.
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
This is wonderful news. I’m glad you found each other! There is always more love to go around, and I’m sure Mr. Bowie wouldn’t mind one bit. xx
Hi Jennifer. Deep inside I can still feel some mixed emotions. But I’m very happy to have Jimi as my new furry friend.
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Of course your emotions are mixed. My daughter waited longer to get a new dog after Nico passed, but it felt like it was meant to be. Archie is one year old too. I hope everything works out for you and your new little friend. ❤️
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Squeee!! Bowie sent Jimi to you. Gray and male like him. You both will be best pals and honor Bowie by caring for each other. Well done
Thank you so much for your kind comment. You are so right! I’ll do my best to take good care of the little Jimi. So glad I found him.
Congratulations! The decision was taken out of your hands. Mr Jimi will become one with your heart. We know there is lots of room for him, Mr. Bowie would definite approve.
Hi Virginia. Thank you so much for your warm comment and concern! I’m so happy to found Jimi and I’m sure we will get along fine.
Hope you’re having a great day!
I truly believe that Mr Bowie guided Jimi as he made his way to you at the shelter. After Smathers, my Tuxie, died I was similarly selected by Bagheera who stated that Dylan would need company. Jimi is blessed. Thank you Mr. Bowie. Herman, we look forward to getting to know Jimi and remembering Mr B through tales of the blond pillow thief, garden antics and other stories. ❤😻
Hi Christine. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m so happy I found Jimi in this special way, like it was supposed to happen…
Wondering if the blond pillow thief will show up again in the following stories of Jimi…
Ahh this is so cute! My friend also got a cat because the cat walked towards her. And he brought joy. Cats are awesome.
Hi Betul. It seems that cats can feel if the human will be good for them. I’m so happy I found Jimi pure by coincidence…
I am sure you guys are gonna be a great pair!
Let’s hope so… I’ll take good care of him!
there’s an old saying; one cat never leaves without at some time sending another. Promise as sure as I’m writing this, Bowie sent you Jimi. There’s no need to feel guilty Herman, AT ALL……never forget; you didn’t “replace” Bowie, you never will, you just offered another cat a home, and a life time full of love ♥♥♥
Jimi !!! happee gotcha day dood….we hope ewe can understand R crazee speeh, sum timez we due knot under stand R selves ☺☺☺ we iz buzzed happee ta meet ewe N we look for werd ta seein
mor postz in de few chure…..welcome home N welcome ta blogland ♥♥♥☺☺☺☺♥♥♥♥
Thank you so much for your kind words and concern, my dear friends. This whole situation feels very strange, it feels like ‘someone’ was pulling some strings to make this all happen… But I’m very happy to find this little one. I’m sure we will get along fine…
I could not imagine a house without a cat in it! Definitely looks like JIMI adopted you! We look forward to hearing how he adapts to his new home. 😻
Hi Greg. This whole thing feels like it was orchestrated by Jimi. So may details happened that never could have happened in a ‘normal’ world… Glad I found this little fellow!
Welcome Jimi; happy cat 🙂
Thank you so much, my dear friend! Jimi will be a very lucky and happy cat for sure!
It does feel like Mr. Bowie must have helped bring Jimi to you! And Jimi knew to reach out to you! I think this is the best way to go forward while honoring the memory of Mr. Bowie. Wishing you much happiness with beautiful Jimi!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. So may little things happened that normally should never have happened. This whole story feels so weird… But I’m very happy I found Jimi in a shelter and he moved in to my house.
I think Jimi was sent by Mr. Bowie, too! Congratulations on adopting a kitty someone else abandoned in a shelter, too. I think Jimi is one lucky kitty that you came along when you did, and I know you will give him a happy home for life. It looks like you were found by a lovely cat, Herman!
Hi Doug. I was feeling so down the last 2 weeks and it never came in my mind something so beautiful like this could happen to me. It really feels like ‘someone’ was taking care of me behind the screen.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern, my dear friend!
When I picked up Louie the ginger cat’s ashes one week after he died, that was the day I was introduced to the five-week-old Andy and was given a chance to have him once he was old enough to leave his momma. Like you, I wasn’t expecting to get another cat so soon, let alone a kitten. Like you, I felt I somehow dishonored Louie’s memory – he was a funny and fun kitty, and I still miss him. Like you, I realized there was something about little Andy walking toward me, choosing me to give him a forever home. I did have a few weeks to wait for him to come into my home, though, after the initial introduction. Several of us have commented on cats choosing them and how we believe Jimi knew he’d be a happy cat with you! I know he will be!
Such stories make you wonder if there’s something else going on. Guess there’s maybe some kind of brain wave connection between living creatures? Or some kind of (emotional) telepathy?
I think you have something there, Herman. It’s uncanny how often you hear people tell about how they were selected by a cat rather than the other way around!
Yes Doug, you are so right! I’ve noticed that too…
He can probably play a guitar with his teeth.
Haha… I’ll give it a try, got an acoustic guitar in the studio…
Love your comment!
There is no right or wrong time to get another pet. “The heart wants what it wants.” And as others have said, Mr. Bowie knew what you – and Jimi – needed. The ancient Persians (the people, not the cats) believed that when a cat died, it’s soul stayed behind to help the next cat.
Thank you so much for this beautiful thoughts. I wanted to wait for months to get another cat but I’m so happy this story happened to me. And so glad I found this beautiful boy in a shelter.
Wat een mooie woorden allemaal!!! Bowie vergeten we nooit, maar Jimi kan je leven aanvullen.
Geniet van de tijd om elkaar te leren kennen, we komen snel eens piepen ❤ .
Dank je wel, Joke! Je gaat zeker smelten als je Jimi ziet. Zo’n lieve jongen…
Ik kijk uit naar je bezoek!
I would’ve done the same if the cat comes straight to me. I’m a cat lover. I’m glad you decided to adopt him.
I’m sure Mr. Bowie’s spirit guided Jimi to choose you. From heaven he’s watching over you.
Hi Lucia. Thank you so much for your kind comment. It really feels like someone was pulling some strings behind the scene to make this all happen… So happy Jimi picked me to be his new human…
😻😻😻
Herman I am so happy for you both. I have had people tell me that they had not planned on a new cat so soon but then one miraculously appeared. Several have said it was like their old friend sent them.
Jimi I am unhappy here.
Mr Bowie See that man? That is Herman. He is a great human and has a good home. You go introduce yourself. I don’t want my friend to be lonely in an empty house.
Jimi OK Mr Bowie, I will.I will be good company for Herman. He will not be lonely.
Hi Angela. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. It feels like the way you explained in your comment, it feels like someone was pulling some strings behind the scene. Things happening that shouldn’t have happened… weird.
Hope you’re having a great day, my friend!
Oh my goodness what a little cutie!!! Welcome home, Jimi, you just got the BEST forever home!! ❤ You know, almost the exact same thing happened with our cat! We had a big fluffy boy named "Cat Cat" (that name is a long story haha) that passed away in March. We were heartbroken and felt like we couldn't get another cat for awhile. When I went to the website of the shelter where we got Cat Cat, in order to deactivate his microchip, I saw a picture of a cat who was three years old and in bad need of a forever home. We went to meet him, and it wasn't long before that sweet little guy came to live with us, and we are a two-cat house once more 🙂 Of course you will always love Bowie, just as we will always love our Cat Cat. But lots of kitties out there need good homes. I'm so glad you took him in! 🙂
Hi M.B. Thank you so much for telling your kind story. I love the name Cat Cat, that’s a beautiful cat name… So sorry he passed away but so good you found another furry friend!
I’m still confused when I look at the way how I found Jimi. So glad and happy he’s living with me now.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, M.B.!
Ohmigosh, Herman, he looks almost exactly like Gibbs did when I brought him home…except for the little white patch on his chest. So handsome and he CHOSE you. I have a feeling you will be good buds and Bowie will be happy in kitty heaven that you have a friend to keep you company. I’m very excited for you!
Hi Mary. When I first saw Jimi at the shelter I said to myself “Hey, I know this guy from somewhere” and later Gibbs’ image appeared in my mind!
I’m so happy I found this lovely boy, pure by accident because this shelter wasn’t on my list.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, my friend!
Hi Jimi, You’ve found a very good home. Bowie is very pleased that Herman listened when you were asking for him to take you home. Mr Bowie had to leave, but life is eternal. It always starts again.
Hi Micheline. Thank you so much for your kind comment. You are so right; life is eternal, it always starts again, maybe in a different way.
So happy I found Jimi and he moved in to my home…
I am glad Jimi chose you, Herman! It was meant to be, perhaps guided by Mr. Bowie’s celestial paw, knowing the vacuum his leaving created in your life. I will continue to enjoy reading your blog, my friend!
Hi Lavinia. Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for helping me get through hard and difficult times all these years. So glad I know you, my dear friend!
I’m so happy with Jimi appearing and staying in my life…
Jimi is a handsome boy. I’m so glad you adopted him. I’m certain Bowie led the two of you to each other.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. I do believe ‘something special’ happened to let this all be true. So happy I found this beautiful boy…
The only thing I can add to what everyone else has said is: I myself feel so much happier now, knowing you have a new adventure to show-and-tell-us about. High-five Herman! High-five Jimmi! High-five Mr. Bowie’s pawprint! (Mr. Bugs says: gray cats rule.)
Hi Anita. Thank you so much for your kind and heartwarming comment. So glad this post made you feel happy too! And oh yes, Mr. Bugs is so right: grey cats rule for sure!
Thank you for hanging around all these years, my dear friend!
Hi Jimi, welcome in the home of your new owner, Mr. Bowie probably told you about all those yummy treats, like ice cream etc. I wish you a wonderful life. Herman you are saying you found Jimi, I believe it’s the other way around, that Jim found you, I am very happy for you.
Hi Cornelia. Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern. It could be true that ‘someone’ informed Jimi about how good a cat life can be at my home…
So glad and happy I found this little boy and he moved in to my place.
wonderful story…
so nice you have a new kitteh
Thank you so much, my friend. Looking forward to post about my new adventures with Jimi…
Heel veel plezier samen het is heel fijn dat je terug een mateke hebt. Bowie gaan we nooit vergeten.
Dank je wel, Wiske! Ik ben zo blij dat ik deze kerel gevonden heb, eigenlijk door puur toeval want dat asiel was niet op mijn oorspronkelijke lijst. Precies of dit “moest’ gebeuren…
Ik wens jou en je familie nog veel sterkte toe in deze harde en pijnlijke periode.
Dear Herman I am so happy to hear this, cats’ stories are very interesting, Jimi seems that were waiting for you… You did great and of course, Mr. Bowie will never be forgotten… Actually think of this, Mr. Bowie created a wonderful place in our hears, and we all love cats… and sure you too, Blessing and Happiness to you both, Jimi feels and knows where he came in and who was living there before… They smell cat life… maybe more than this, who knows. As I said, I am really happy for you both, I know what means all these days and feelings dear Herman, have a nice and enjoyable time togeether, Love, nia
Hi Nia. Thank you so much for your kind and heartwarming comment. This really means a lot to me, my friend! I was overwhelmed with what happened to me the last days. But I’m so happy Jimi moved in to my home. I’m sure we’ll both get along fine.
Thanks for hanging around all these years, Nia! Hope you’re having a great day!
sorry should be “our heart”… 🙂
Seg, stop eens met zo te schrijven, nu zit ik hier weer te bleiten! Ik ben zo blij voor jou en Jimi en Mr. Bowie zou het zeker goed keuren. Gr. Christel
Hahaha… ja maar, dat zijn tranen van geluk, hé! Ik had het best ook wel moeilijk hoor, omdat hij al zo snel hier is. Maar ik ben toch blij dat ik de beslissing genomen heb.
Hartelijk dank voor je lieve reactie, Christel!
Wonderful! I am very happy for you. I hope Jimi will be a nice companion for you. Good luck.
Hi Domi. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m so happy I found Jimi in a shelter and I could bring him to a warm home.
No need to feel guilty. Mr Bowie will love to know that this poor little cat makes you happy and fills his place! Welcome Jimi!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m glad and so happy I found this beautiful boy in a shelter. I’m going to take good care of him!
Cat’s are amazing! I’m pretty sure that Mr. Bowie arranged this for you 😉
All these events of the last day made me wonder about what was going on up there… 😉
Life can be very strange sometimes.
Hope you’re having a great day, my friend!
Hello dear Herman, I wished for your heart to be mended and my wish is coming true ❤ This is so wonderful. I have a Jimmy in my home, I'm married to him 😀 Mr Bowie didn't want either of you to be lonely and gave a helping paw, I truly believe it. I often think our cat Blossom is our dog buddy, especially when she rolls over for tummy rubs with perfect strangers. Maybe they visit sometimes to make sure we're OK. It makes me happy to think it, so I will. Looking forward to all your happy adventures together ! Love from Canada xB
Hi Boomdee, aka Kelly. Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind comment, my friend. Your story also made me feel better. Thank you for being there for me all these years, when I was going through hard and difficult times.
I’m so happy I found little Jimi and he wanted to come home with me. I’m sure we’re ready for new and exciting adventures…
Hope you’re having a great day, my dear friend!
♥️
Merci bien! Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Welcome home Jimi! How kind of you to open your heart to this sweet boy. XO
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support, my friend. So glad I found this new furry friend…
Hope you’re having a great day!
Those kind of instant connections are so obviously heaven sent.
I feel the same way… It often seems there’s something weird going on or someone’s pulling some strings. So happy I found Jimi pure by coincidence.
Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful new friendship!
Oh yes! I got the same feeling and I’m very happy I found this little boy…
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Welcome!
The best cats are the ones who pick you out. MaChatte picked me out, and her siblings, (in a local, not chain) pet store, looked at me like they could care less. I see he’s a pretty dark gray color and his coat looks nice. I’m so glad that you two have each other!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, my dear friend. Cats really seems to pick out the right humans. Jimi walked immediately towards me. The other 4 cats didn’t care if I was in the room. So happy I found this little boy…
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Enjoy that wonderful little guy! Does he like cat treats?
Don’t know. He’s still on the gastrointestinal diet food for a few days. I have to buy new treats because Mr. Bowie had special treats for his allergy problems.
Oh so he’ll get to try some good treats in a few days. Good thing you’re not on a special diet…….you can have all your treats!
Imagine they would take a way my dark chocolate… I would be totally lost…
😳. Noooooo……
This is wonderful news. I am sure Mr Bowie would be happy that you have room in your heart for another cat.
Thank you so much for your concern and support. I’m still having mixed emotions but I’m so happy I found this little furry guy…
Hope you’re having a great weekend, my friend!
It would seem as if Mr. Bowie knew you needed a new friend, and found just the right one for you. Jimi looks like our Angel Fiona, which always makes our mom’s heart lurch. We look forward to getting to know this young fellow, and we are very happy you will continue to write about Mr. B. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and support today. This really means a lot to me and makes me feel a lot better. Thank you for hanging around this blog all these years. Much appreciated!
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend, my friends!
When Ms Samantha died we felt the same way as you. But then we walked into a shelter and Lucy came right up to us and we could not go home without her. I am so glad you adopted Jimi! I think Hands on Bowie wanted you to welcome him to your world!! I am still drying my tears.
Hi Susan. Thank you so much for your kind comment and your story. I wanted to wait 3 or 4 months to go to a shelter. But I’m very happy I found Jimi pure by accident. It looks like it was written in the stars…
Oh, how did I miss this? I’m so happy for you and for Jimi. I’m a firm believer in “meant to be” and clearly you and Jimi needed each other.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I do believe this was meant to be… The shelter where I found Jimi wasn’t on my list because it’s not close to my hometown and there are a lot of shelters in my neighbourhood. You can see Jimi is very happy with his new forever home…
Hope you’re having a great day, my friend!
That is the best way to adopt a new animal – when it just happens and feels right.
I am sure Mr Bowie is smiling down on you both and happy that you have opened your heart and home to a cat in need.
I wanted to wait for some months. I wasn’t ready to go find a new cat. But it seems this was meant to be… It looks like someone was pulling some strings up there. So glad I found Jimi.
You found each other, just when you both needed to the most. And yes, I am sure someone was watching over you.
I am still looking for my next dog, but like you, I will know when I see him.
I’m so happy I found this little boy. Maybe sooner as I wanted but that’s ok in the end…
Wishing you good luck and hopefully you’ll find soon a new companion…
Thank you. I’ll keep on looking 🙂
Looking forward to read about it soon…
Thank you 😀
Paw-some! I’m sure Mr. Bowie would approve. And Jimi is very fortunate to have found you as his forever human
Thank you so much, my friend. It gives me a good feeling reading all your warm comments.
I wanted to wait some months but I’m very glad I found Jimi by accident. And it looks like he’s very happy in his forever home…
Oh Herman I’m so happy for you both! How wonderful for Jimi .. a new forever home where he will be loved. It was meant to be! Hugs
Hi Julie. Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern. I’m so glad I’ve found this sweet boy and he’s in his new forever home… I had a feeling someone was pulling some strings up there to make this happen…
I’m so pleased they did ..
Oh yes…!!
Okay, now I’m tearing up because this is such a sweet synchronistic meeting. You two do have a connection–that’s why he picked you. He felt it too. I’m so happy for you and for Jimi. You saved his life. I look forward to reading about your adventures with Jimi and continued stories about Mr. Bowie.
Cheers!
Thank you so much for your kind comments today, CatLady. Looking back to what happened and how I found Jimi makes me believe it was all meant to be. Just as if someone up there was pulling some strings…
Jimi’s doing great and he’s very happy in his new forever home. And he makes me feel better too… So glad I have found this sweet boy!
What a HUGE heart you have! It is broken yet you still helped a cat in need!
I wanted to wait for a few months but when I saw this little boy I knew immediately I had to help him. I’m still having mixed feelings but I’m happy Jimi found his forever home…
Yeah, I think sometimes we have ideas of “when” but sometimes our ideas get pushed aside when the moment actually comes along. Jimi is a cutey.
Thank you, Terre! I’m so glad I found Jimi pure by accident. And he seems to love his new home…
Well done. I found this very touching to read. I’m so glad you found room in your heart for the little cat. I hope you can help each other deal with your losses.
Hi Susan. Thank you so much for your kind comment and concern. I’m so happy I found this sweet boy. I’m sure we will take good care of each other…
Yay! I’m so happy for you! Jimi will help heal your heart and give you company, too. : )
Thank you so much for your kind comment, my friend. I wanted to wait for a few months but I’m so happy I found this little boy by accident…
Welcome Jimi
Cats sometimes choose us. Why ? What happened in their heads the moment they saw us, is it a smell that attracted them, is it our behavior, have they read in our thoughts the recent past that makes us sad again?
I wholeheartedly hope that you will spend many years together and that you will forge very strong links.
I’m happy for you
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Yoshimi.
It was a very strange experience the first time I met Jimi in the shelter. There were 5 cats in the room. When I entered the room, Jimi was the only cat who was interested in me. I was so happy there was a connection from the first time we saw each other…
I had this one day going to adopt a cat, many years ago.
I was in the cat room and there were all those big cages (with access to the outside). The attendant opened a cage and a cat literally jumped into my arms.
I said I take that one
He was not very handsome (he was left 3 weeks in an apartment without food and drink and it was the firefighters who rescued him), but after a few weeks with me I found him the most beautiful in the world. His name was Adagio
With EOS …. ❤ ❤ ❤ our meeting was different
Every meeting is different
Big hugs to Jimi (I hope he likes that)
What a beautiful story, Yoshimi! Jimi is the first cat I adopted. My previous cats (except Mr. Bowie) always showed up one day before my door and decided to move in.
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
yes the story is already old enough but I still have it in mind; I could not have adopted another cat
I have always adopted
Have a wonderful weekend Jimi and you
Thank you! Enjoy your weekend, Yoshimi.
I am glad that you decided to adopt little Jimi. I understand about feeling guilty. When my Abbey died the little black cat my sister-in-law was fostering just reached the age where he was able to be adopted so we took him and named him Puck. I felt a little guilty too but realized that that giving this cat a home was Abbey’s legacy.
Hi Charles. Thank you for telling me your story. I still think a lot about Mr. Bowie and miss him so hard. But I love the company of Jimi, he’s such a sweet boy…
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Thanks. I am glad you found a good companion.
Thank you, Charles!
Simply wonderful. There are so many cats that need homes. Your cat is very wise to choose you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Welcome home 😀😀😀
Hi Sir Albertus. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m so happy that I found Jimi in the shelter. And hew seems to like his new home… I will take good care of this sweet boy!
I think Mr. B put you 2 together. I just know it.
Thank you so much for all your kind and heartwarming comments today, my friend. This means a lot to me!
I have a feeling someone up there was pulling some strings to make this happen…
😻❣️🧚♀️😻
Hi Hedy. Thank you so much for all your kind and heartwarming comments today. This really means a lot to me. I’m feeling better now and enjoying the company of my new furry friend.
I’m taking Jimi to a medical check up later today. He seems to suffer a little bit from an old healing wound.
Oh! How wonderful!!! Maybe Mr. Bowie sent him so you wouldn’t be alone! (yeah, i know. But wouldn’t it be nice?)
Well, I like to believe ‘someone’ pulled some strings up there to make this all happen… Such a lovely thought!
Oh my goodness! I missed almost two months of posts through a WordPress glitch and had no idea Bowie had sent you someone to love! I’m so happy for you–it’s not disrespectful. As you said, we have little control over how things happen.
I’m so glad I found this sweet little boy. It was pure by accident because I wanted to wait a while to find another cat. It really looks like someone was pulling some strings to make this all happen…
Glad you’re back up to date, Bernadette! Hope you’re having a great day!
