Best Valentine's Day Gift EVER!

I got a Valentine’s Day gift today from my ex-husband!!!

Now don’t get all excited, we are not getting back together and I have a wonderful long-time partner.  But my ex- really gave the gift of love.

No, not to me.  To my beloved cat!

Last week I blogged that my cat Jubilee died so suddenly.  He left behind my six-year-old cat Rocky who I love dearly, and two antique Cornish Rex boys who sleep 23 hours 45 minutes out of every day.  Rocky has been moping around despondently wondering why he doesn’t have any friends left.  My ex- and I used to rescue cats and it used to be a crowded household.  Now it’s a quiet one (cat-wise at least!)

Rocky and his brother Leamond were thrown from a car on I-95 in rush hour Miami traffic 5-1/2 years ago and my ex rescued them.  Their story is a long one and I’ll save it for another day.  When I divorced, Rocky stayed with me and Leamond went with the ex.

Let’s just say that we fought over custody of those two kitties very fiercely when we divorced.  And there was no way in heck that I thought I would ever see Leamond again.

After Jubilee crossed the Rainbow Bridge last week, I felt so badly for Rocky that I e-mailed my ex, and I pleaded with him to let Leamond come to live with us.  My ex has a kitten and three other cats besides Leamond.  I told him this is not for me, it is for Rocky.

Well I was so shocked when he agreed!!!  I am still in shock!!!  He delivered Leamond to my front porch this morning.  Wow!!!  He has been gone for three years and he is reunited with his brother.

I had to go to work so I’m not sure how they are doing, but I supervised them for an hour before I left and I felt that they would get along just fine without me.  My dogs are crated when I am at work, so I knew we wouldn’t have any problems there.

What a happy ending to a sad story.  Leamond, the Valentine’s Day Kitty!!!

p.s. Leamond is named after the tow truck driver who helped my ex- rescue the kittens.  The rescue is a very long story for another day but let’s just say that Leamond Moorer of Moorer Towing in Miami is one heck of a hero!!!!!
