As I walked in my casa around 5am I wasn’t greeted by my little man... in fact when I called out, there was stillness instead of his little purr-rawr and dog like run up to me... this is weird because Mr. Squinz is like a dog always waiting at the door when I get home, he is a very social, personal kitty.
Disheveled, I shook treats and walked all over my apt building. When I didn’t hear his loud meow or see his spunky little-self I went inside and handmade little signs and putting my info on them. Not knowing where he was and being emotionally and physically exhausted, I fell asleep. When I woke up someone on the third floor texted me saying they saw 2 guys from the forth floor take him in a give him food. I walked up and down the forth floor but being that most people work in the middle of the afternoon, I was shit outta luck. Around 2pm though I got a call asking if I was the one who made the signs. I said yes, and was told that they found him roaming around the bridge to nowhere near the mailboxes but weren’t able to keep him because of their cat not liking other kitties so they left him with the girl in 203. After thanking them I hung up and ran down to the girls apt. She came to the door carrying my little guy! She said that she was happy that he had a home and that he was the sweetest little guy. I thanked her a 100 times or at least it felt that way and took him in my arms, squeezed him extra tight and gave him a handful of treats.
I was so scared that I lost my little man, he has been with me since 2008 I bought him as a b-day present for myself. We have been through some crazy situation, lived in many different homes and traveled all up and down the eastern US. He loves me unconditionally, drives me up a wall at times but none the less he is always there, right where I need him, so the thought of him not coming home crushed me. I guess I could say, while everyone else is a revolving door Mr. Squinz is my constant staple.
