Here's the happy ending story of Hypo and his new friend Kona: ![]() Around the end of March I visited the shelter to look for a companion for my poor old depressed 18 year old cat "Hypo" (short for Hypothesis). He had just lost his lifelong buddy "Dorian". She passed away from old age basically. I spent quite a bit of time visiting with each kitty that was there, at the time, for adoption. I needed to shop for, not just myself, but also keep in mind who would be good for Hypo. I couldn't seem to find one that fit the bill. Just as I was walking out of the room, something stopped me. I glanced down to a bottom cage down in the corner. "Is there something in there?" I went closer and knelt down to look. There.....way back in the dark corner was this little blob of black fur. I opened the cage door. She was very frightened, so I just sat there for a minute with the door open. Then I reached in and pulled her out. She still seemed scared, but willing for me to hold her. I took her out of the room into the reception room so she couldn't see any other cats. She immediately calmed down and seemed to appreciate my affections! ![]() I took her straight to the vet to leave her there for all her tests and shots. The vet needed a name, so I quickly thought of "Kona". She turned out not to be totally black afterall. When in sunlight, her short black fur takes on beautifull undertones of a rusty brownish color. Reminded me of Kona coffee. Hypo is no longer bummin'. He's getting old and won't be around a whole lot longer himself, but for the time he's here he sure is being entertained! Kona is a very comical kitty. And I can tell...very happy that I stopped to take a look in that bottom corner cage. :) ![]() Kristine Trent |
