Remember the saga of Emanuel and Buddy? Awhile back Emanuel and a
cousin managed to catch the orange kitty they were sure was Buddy
returning. But he fought like heck and got away and hasn't been seen
since. But they know now that it wasn't Buddy after all. this cat was
a full male; Buddy was neutered. So Emanuel was grieving again.

This weekend Emanuel's Daddy was working the late shift (he is a tech
at the hospital). He was telling a co-worker the saga of Buddy and
Emanuel. The lady said that is wonderful, because she had the
solution. For some reason (they didn't tell me) the lady had to find a
home for her cat. So John followed her home and picked up the cat with
a bag of canned food.

It was late when he got home and Emanuel was fast asleep. John took
the cat to the basemant where she explored every nook and cranny. Then
Emanuel woke up and the cat made a beeline to him and crawled into his
arms and purred herself to sleep. Emanuel went to sleep with a smile
on his face. With that, John was satisfied that the grieving was over.

The cat is named Lelo, is one year old and is soft, velvet black. her
shots are up to date and she is micro-chipped. But she is also
declawed on the front paws. Emanuel knows about her being strictly an
indoor cat. They are also going to put a sign on the front door about
not letting her out. A lot of people are careless about not closing
the door.

However, she spends most of her time with Emanuel. She tolerates other
people; I got to hold and pet her for a couple minutes. But it is very
evident she knows she is Emanuel's cat. I am so happy for them.
