It's Thompson's designated birthday. Happy birthday buddy.I think I've learned something about my boy the past few weeks... I've noticed that whenever I go over to him as he is finishing up a meal and ask him if he enjoyed the food, he'll go scampering off as if he thinks I'm scolding him. I wondered what this was all about. My theory? He spent the first year of his life living out in the wild (or so I was told) and a kind woman would bring him out some food in the park she saw him at. I think his behavior is a reminder of all that. He probably didn't want her to get too close even though he was thankful for the food. I can see him running away from her if she got too near.
But she was the one who saved his life. The one who found him caught in an animal trap after he hadn't come around for several days for the meal she offered. I don't know who this person was but I will forever be eternally grateful for her actions. She brought Thompson to a no-kill shelter and they got him the care he needed (the amputation of his dead leg) to stay alive.
Thompson is my hero. He has such a grateful soul and a comforting face. He has taught me so much about the right attitude towards life... So again, happy birthday buddy... from all of us in this household...

Happy, happy birthday sweetie! May there be many more to share with your family and furriends.
We are touched by the kindness of the lady. During SS's travel in Asia she met just one like that. She was caring for a whole family of cats in a small park. One of the cats was so timid that he/she would not come down the high wall to get the food. She tied a basket at the end of a pole and delivered the food to him/her. She couldn't leave the food and go because the other cats would eat it and the timid one would starve. This kind lady has been doing it for years and refuse to take holidays because the kitties would not be looked after, until SS's friend who lived close by agreed to take over the care so she could take a 2-week cruise, the first in 10 or more years.
