I came across
a breed known as Manx. I read everything I could on this breed.
I asked breeders question, talked about their cats and got involved
in discussions with Manx pet owners. After a year and a half,
I came across an ad for a solid blue female rumpie riser Manx.
For some reason I had to inquire about her. I found out that she
was going to be put to sleep due to her shy personality. By saving
her, I opened up a part of myself to be saved. She needed me to
give her life. When I actually got Lunableu into my possession,
she showed me that it was OK to be different and to have personality
flaws. I was told she would never be friendly, never like humans,
myself and always be defective in some way.
This Manx
that was going to be Euthanized because she was unwanted is
now over a year old, sleeps with me EVERY night, loves to play
games with me and is getting friendlier every day. Lunableu
will always be somewhat of a fraidy cat, but she lets me know
that she loves me despite my personality flaws.
She
had shown me that I was loved unconditionally despite my outlook
on life and despite what others may say or think of me. I'll
always know that Lunableu my Manx, loves me no matter what.
And that's the great thing about pets. They really do love you
unconditonally. Without judgements and without criticisms. They
don't care if you have makeup on or not. They don't care if
your shoes match your pocketbook that match your eyes. Pets
don't care if Sunday is sweat pants day, if you bite your nails
or if you like eggs with ketchup. Pets love you for how you
treat them and how you make them feel. Just remember they are
a reflection of your love. If you think they make you feel wanted,
loved and cherrished, just think of how they feel in regards
to how you make them feel.
I hope
you enjoyed the story, for its a true story.
