We were not ready for another cat. And in complete agreement on the topic. Maybe in December or early 2021 we would open our hearts and our home up to a new little friend. Yet, despite any number of quotes from Sun Tzu to Gandhi about the virtues of planning ahead, we were totally unable to resist this little bugger when he showed up in our lives.
Our friend Lisa had adopted a new friend for her current cat, but he turned out to be too much of an excitable jerk to live with another animal. However, he harnessed that same energy in making himself completely irresistible to us. When faced with the notion of him returning to the SPCA, we knew in 30 seconds that he was coming home with us instead. With fair warning about his ability to make you act against your own best interests, I introduce you all to
Wesley "Danger Zone" Warren Taylor of Orange.
Being a little mysterious is part and parcel with being a cat and Wesley is no exception. Although he is estimated to only be three years old, he started life as a street cat in the city of Delta. We have no idea what his life was like or how he started out, but it sounds like life was pretty hard on his own. When a good Samaritan fed and trapped him, he had flees and a broken tail.
After inspection by a vet they removed all but an inch of his tail and had to pull one of his upper canines. We have only known him without a tail and honestly think he carries it well and has a distinctive look, so its turned out to be to his advantage.
Despite being a floor model. rather than mint in box, he is undeniably adorable and the camera loves him almost as much as everyone he meets. Its only been a short while so far, but he has already returned some of the light and love that had been missing from our home since last March.
