A Fur baby - Ebony

Hi Friends,

Today I featuring one of my fur babies.  Now that we are emptynesters.  I have them to take care of.  All of us women I guess are that way!  :)

They are so funny...or can be annoying at times.  I feed, water, pet them and sometimes bathe them.  They depend on me to meet their needs.

Ebony is our rescue cat.  We took him in as a skinny, starved kitten that someone had dropped off near our church where I was working.

It was a rainy day and he jumped up in the window sill outside meowing.  We tried to catch him but he ran away.

The next day he showed up again and I went to the fellowship hall kitchen to find something I could feed him.

Well, the only thing I found were frozen hot dogs.  I thawed them quickly and took them to him.  He gobbled 3 up and the entire time he was crying.  It was heartbreaking!  My husband said, that's it!  We're taking him home.

He's been with us ever since and is the best pet ever.  He loves to eat and never misses a meal now as I'm sure you can tell by these pictures.

Ebony's not a lap cat but loves to be near me and sleep at the end of our bed.

I hope you can see his personality in these pictures.  He's very content and gets along with our elderly senior kitty and  dog.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!


I'm joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for  Pink Saturday.

He loves to be outside in the mornings on our screened porch.  He's all black except for that little white patch.

Pretty eyes

He loves to sleep on the wicker furniture in my foo foo room.

Likes my pink rug.    :)

Ebony actually sat next to this silk flower.  I took a quick pic.  He loved it for some reason.

Hugs,

You'll never go hungry again!

We have pets, but one of my favorites is Ebony we call him Ebby for short. He's such a sweet and beautiful boy especially if you knew where he came from.

My husband and I were at the church at the old location working and saw this kitten in the window sill skin and bones meowing like crazy. He was hungry and apparently abandoned. It was pouring down rain....Keith tried to catch him but he was scared and took off.

A couple of days later the kitten showed up again....this time at the front door just crying his little heart out. I couldn't stand it. I went to the kitchen in the fellowship hall to see what I could find to feed him. In the refrigerator were hot dogs so I cut them up in bite size pieces and gave them to him.

Honestly, while he was eating...I heard crying and meowing at the same time! He end up eating 3 hot dogs! That is a lot for a little guy! We stood there watching him gobble them up.

Needless to say, he won our hearts and we took him home that day. He was flea-infested, his coat was matted and dull. We cleaned him up and got him checked out at the vet. After a healthy diet (not hot dogs!) his coat came out black and such a beautiful shiny sheen to it.

To this day, he loves to eat! We promised him that "he'd never go hungry again!" trust me he doesn't either!

Pets are wonderful blessings in our lives. I'm so thankful for this special cat. He brings a lot of love to our home.

He loves my Foo-foo room too!

Hugs,
