My name is Jolie because I am so
beautiful. But beauty isn't everything in a cats life especially
if you only have three legs. My eyes are beautiful and the clear
blue color will certainly beguile you. My fur is shiny and soft
and many cats envy me for that. However, all this does not help
you to keep your home once you lost a leg. So I was lucky in
many other ways and I was found by a nice Thai lady who makes it
a life's pursuit to rescue cats in Bangkok. She cared for me but
could not keep me in her house for much longer. That's why we
went to a pet exhibition at the Mall in Bangkapi where I was put
in a cage so that people could see me.
But as soon as people recognized that I only have three legs
they all soon turned away to look for one of the other cats on
the show. I was sure that no one would
ever adopt me and I wondered what will happen to me at the end
of the day. Where will I go, will I still have a home? I got
really scared and I tried to just sit there, close my eyes and
avoid looking at all the people passing by. In all this hustle
and bustle two people emerged and started to talk to my lady.
The door of the cage was opened and I was taken out and given to
Thomas. I immediately looked into his face and tried to find out
what kind of person he is because we cats can see that in your
eyes. But I was so scared that I started to piss on him and all
I could think of in this moment was that I virtually pissed away
my only chance to get adopted.
He went to the restroom to change his now wet shirt and to clean
up his trousers which were of course not spared. But to my
surprise he still came back and took me in his arms again. He
talked to me and said that he liked me and he promised me to
care of me. I was adopted and soon I left this busy place to
join the Khlongdogs team. So many cats greeted me and I was not
sure if I should be happy or not. I therefore considered it best
to just hide under a sofa and see what happened. The other cats
were curious and started to look at me, walk around me and some
even kissed me.
I have a home now but my disability still makes me feel
insecure. Although I can walk it is rather hard to sit and watch
how others jump around and climb up the shelves. This is
something I will never do again. This might be the reason that I
sometimes overreact and get into unnecessary fights with other
cats. Well, no one is perfect and one
must defend its territory. Besides all this I am well taken care
of, have enough food and water, get kissed and cuddled and
medical care is very good here.
You must understand that we cats are not only animals but we
have a soul and we have feelings as much as you do. We feel hurt
and we feel when we are different, cannot cope with expectations
and when we feel lonely. Three legs are a serious disadvantage
for a cat and living in a cat society makes it hard to
integrate. Having a protected place makes it much easier and I
am fully aware that I am a lucky cat after all. |
