You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats.

I was always a tried and true dog person, until I met Buddy.

This little golden ball of fur was horribly abused in the early years of his life. It's been said that he was originally a farm cat and had a run in with some boys that thought it would be funny to swing him around by his back legs and tail. Sadly, it left Buddy with two broken back legs, a broken tail and a useless eye. Buddy's legs and tail healed broken and thankfully he was rescued by the Humane Society and not put down because of his defects.

His original foster mom (whom I would love to thank, but don't know her personally) was unable to keep him because of the dogs in her home and he was given to a friend of my daughter. That's when I first met Buddy. We became friends instantly and didn't know that we were destined to meet to become roommates 2 years later.

As it turned out, Buddy came into my life just when I needed a friend and true spirit the most, and he was.

Buddy taught me the true meaning of forgiveness and trust, at precisely the right time. He is a true survivor and a grand example for us all.
Here's to all things Cats. Cheers!

 

I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue.  "Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it."  She looks up and gives me her full gaze.  "Don't be ridiculous," she purrs, "I wrote it."  ~Dilys Laing

A cat has 9 lives. For 3 he plays, for 3 he strays, and for the last 3 he stays.

Buddy The Wonder Cat 

1997-2009

My little soul mate, Buddy, left this planet last night.

How strange to come down here and he wasn't waiting for our morning snuggle and snacks.

That little orange fur ball will be in my heart forever. He taught me how to survive, love and forgive. Who would have thought that a little sideways walking Tabby would have such tenacity, perseverance and forgiveness. I will always be grateful for the lessons I was lucky enough to learn from his life and thank him for being there for me when no one else was.

Buddy's World 

Do you know that it's been said in the Buddhist religion, the body of the cat is the temporary resting place of the soul of very spiritual people?

Buddy can be seen most days sleeping in his favorite spots at the store. He has a pink heart pillow on one side and fake snow on the other. Both rest stops are positioned on top of the heat registers so he can stay nice and toasty.
This picture has been retouched to see what Buddy would look like if he didn't have a bum eye. So handsome!

Animal Ark is unique among the animal shelters in Minnesota. Though we are small and have limited funds, we have built and maintain the most elaborate sheltering available for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. Instead of small, cold, stainless steel cages, cats are housed in large, open, kitty apartments that include exterior windows, cat trees and other amenities.

Watering Hole 

"Dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you." - Mary Bly

Cats have unique preferences when it comes drinking water and for our feline friends a bowl of fresh water may not be enough. The world is still not sure why cats have a preference for running water. If you are a cat lover you know the meowing that goes on to get a human to turn on the magic flow.

History of Cats 

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The History of cats' relationship with man is as old as civilization and stretches back over 9,500 years. Cats have figured in the history of many nations, are the subject of legend and are a favorite subject of artists and writers.
Wikipedia - History of Cats
The exact history of human interaction with cats is still somewhat vague. However, a gravesite discovered in 1983 in Shillourokambos Cyprus, dating to 7500 BC, during the Neolithic period, contains the skeletons of a ceremonially buried human and a type of young cat.
