Two Little Fluffballs Found Forever Homes?

Remember this little furball from not too long ago?

Well, someone put a collar on him, so he got adopted....or, at least, I thought he did.  But his mama wasn't as fortunate.  I don't see her anymore.  I guess she didn't get adopted (I wonder what happened to her...she could have been relocated on purpose so that she doesn't come looking for her offspring).  Well, that's what some people do...they take in adorable kittens but not the no-longer-cute adult cats. :'(

I'd always see the little kitty around the neighbourhood.  He'd usually run to me from across the street when I call.


I'm thinking he got adopted by a house across the street (I have my suspicion which house).  I see the little kitten running outside that house all the time.  I'm not even sure if he's ever let in the house by the people who adopted him.

And he always comes to me for food.  Doesn't his adoptive family feed him? >_<  I used to wonder too.  He looks so skinny.  If he comes to my house, he knows he can sucker me for food.

And because we engage with the little kitty by playing with him and feeding him, he makes himself right at home.....in my porch.

And on my car.

Cookie doesn't quite know what to make of him.

He's probably wondering who is this little fella that's slowly taking over his porch.....and his territory....and maybe even some of my affection. ^_*

And then, one day, he just upped and left...disappeared completely! :'(  I don't see him roaming in my neighbourhood of late.  He doesn't come over for food or playtime anymore.

If I were to guess, his adoptive family probably decided to give him up and let him loose.  Sometimes, people take on a kitten because of the cuteness factor only to realise later that it's a lot of work to keep a pet...haiz.  I've even seen people move away and left their cats behind (like the house-owners behind me).  I feed the left-behind cats sometimes when I see them but most have moved on though some do come back occasionally.  People give up their pets all the time.  It's sad but it happens.

Cats always find their way home.  It's highly unlikely that they don't return to their homes unless they've been let go elsewhere.  Poor kitty, I thought he found a forever home...but it wasn't meant to be! :'(  So long, little kitty, I'll miss you (I'm still hoping that he was given away to someone and not released elsewhere to fend for himself).

A while later, I noticed another abandoned little furball in another neighbour's house.  This time, I made sure I didn't interact with him (as in calling out to him), otherwise he would just follow me back to my house and not leave.

And because he didn't budge from that house, that neighbour decided to take him in.

That busybody likes to venture into my compound...and noseys around my house (even when I try to have minimal contact with him).


And he will, of course, turn on his charm when he's here so that I won't shoo him away.  Hey, my Cookie doesn't like competition for my affection, ok?


He can even catch forty winks at my place if I don't disturb him.


He's also very clever to ask for handouts (of the good stuff)! :P

Luckily, the kitten is kept indoors most of the time but each time he's let out, he will find his way to my house...and make himself right at home.  He's also very clever to submit to Cookie and say, "Hey, you're the boss!"


Let's hope this little kitty has better luck with his forever home....he sits here like he's the king of this house, more like second-in-command coz...psst....there can only be one King...and this is his kingdom!  Go back to yours and stop infringing on Cookie's domain.  Of late, Cookie isn't all that happy with him as he has taken over his territory (the porch) and even peed in his litter box! >_<


Cookie is the only royal in this household.....see, even his head is tilted up like a snobbish royal for this photo op! :D :D


All hail His Majesty, King Cookie.....who resides on his throne...hmmm, only one thing is missing....a crown...which would complete the look! ;D

Two little fluffballs found forever homes...one was (probably) shortlived.....the other only time will tell.
