Raji's Forever Home

Today I am going to tell you about my cousin Raji. He wasn't always my cousin, he used to be my neighbour when we lived with Gammy & Gampy, but then his family moved away. I don't know where they went but I don't think Raji liked it there because he came back. Gammy called his mum and she came back and got him but he must have hated it there because he came back again and stayed because his mum never came back t get him again. He foraged around for food and lived out on the back porch of the empty house for a long time. Mama felt so sorry for him so she started leaving food out the back for him because she didn't want him to go and catch the native animals for food. After we moved out Gampy couldn't stop feeding him and during winter was taking out warm porridge! But they were not keeping him because they had 3 cats there.

One thing Raji wouldn't stop doing though was getting in fights with other neighbourhood cats then last Christmas Eve when we were home for the holidays Mama got up and found blood everywhere out on the back patio, she found Raji and he was almost dead. He had got into a fight so bad that most of his scalp was ripped back and his mouth and nose were bleeding. Mama said that they had to do the right thing and take him to the vet, Gammy agreed. They thought he would have to be put to sleep but the vet said otherwise.

They fixed him up and "fixed" him up, he got his shots and within a couple of weeks Raji was a new cat. He moved into the house with the other cats (there were only two now because Jess went to kitteh heaven) and then moved interstate with Gammy & Gampy and is loving his new forever home. Mama says that she thinks that Jess played a part from above in getting Raji beat up so bad that we would realise that he wasn't a stray we fed but a real part of our Family.

Hope your Tuesday's if terrific!
