September Revisited: Gotcha Day

Published on by J. Kelland Perry

Happy October, Friends and Followers!
It’s been a busy few weeks for me lately, but I didn’t want the date of September 27 to go unnoticed here on my blog, as it marked the first anniversary of our adoption of Louie and Gordie.

Gord and Lou in the first months

In some ways, their Gotcha Day seems like only yesterday. But then I think of how much these two little darlings have flourished in the space of a year. Remembering how Gordie was so skittish and food insecure, and how at first he didn’t know how to use the little flap door to his litter box, it seems like eons ago.

And then there was Louie’s behaviour when we first brought him home, hiding under my treadmill or the spare bed until he felt more comfortable with us.

Nowadays, they are both well adapted to life here with us on Perry’s Point. And we can’t imagine a single day or night without them!

They are still young cats at ages two and four, so we look forward to many more years—and anniversaries—together.

  6. Hi Jennifer – Louie and Gordie are such beautiful cats. It’s great to see that they have adapted to life on Perry’s Point. I love the pictures with the Corn Flakes box. Cats can’t resist an open box, can they? 😉

  15. Happy Gotcha Day! you have done a wonderful job in helping those two little gems to flourish. Regardless of their backstory, they certainly know safety, warmth, and love now. I wish you many more years together.

  16. They are adorable, and thank you for taking in cats who needed time to blossom, and giving that to them. So many people only want the perfectly socialized, extroverted lap cats, and so many initially-shy cats have so much to offer as well.
