Background story

0 kommentarer
It all began one day when my, at the time being, flatmate called me and asked if I could imagine having a cat living at home. There was an abandoned family of cats living in a bush, and we were asked to take care of one of them if possible. I answered "What the hell, it's just a fucking cat...".

We arrived at the bushes, but found no cats. We searched for a while without any results, so we gave up the thought and went home. But there was something troubling us.
Not that the poor cats were never found, but the fact that we still dind't have a cat, which we now had mentaly prepared for. Coming from a wealthy western civilization country, that's how we reason.

We immediately started looking for cats on the web and found a set of two cats, supposed to be sisters, who met our needs.
We went to the farm where they lived, bought them, and drove home. In the car, i had a cat in my lap, and another friend had one in the backseat. The cat I had in my lap was Billy, who pooped on me during the carride. We immediately felt a strong connection.

After a couple of months we found out the cats were boys. Then I moved to another apartment and took Billy with me. Later, I thought that Billy needed a friend so I started looking for a male cat on the internet again.
After just a couple of minutes I found a cat that looked pretty much like Billy so I thought "Why not...".
And thats when Bob moved in, just a couple of months old.

The first few days, Billy didn't really appreciate having another cat around, but Bob was very kind had respect for Billy.
Soon, they would become good friends, washing eachother, sleeping next to eachother and playing and fighting with eachother.
