“Suicidal” Blue
Today’s winner: Blue. Sent in by his human, Yas.
“I found my cat exactly a year ago on a Saturday afternoon. Our children’s choir had just finished practising and we were waiting for the van when we saw a tiny kitten on the sidewalk. I didn’t want a kitten that time. We lost our 17-year-old dog two years ago and never thought we could have another pet. But this little thing had suicidal tendencies, or so I thought. He kept crossing the street, and I kept looking out for him and bringing him back to the bushes where it was safer. After the nth time I heaved an exasperated sigh and brought him to the church basement. I decided to take him home with me.
“I named him Blue because he has blue eyes. He is such a funny, adorable bundle of energy. He didn’t like being carried by the scruff of the neck, so I always carry him with his belly on the length of my arm. He was barely a month old then. He inspected every corner of the house, every guest coming in; hissed at anyone/anything that surprised him; clawed us to shreds during playtime, and kept the house roach-fly-lizard free. My greatest accomplishment: teaching him to sit and give high fives.”
Yas, I’ve emailed you the prize confirmation.
