He Remembers

Well it is time for a 'Roo update'.....for my new watchers, here is a link to the full story of how Roo and I became friends... [link]

As you can see here, Roo is alive and well, still thriving and as handsome as ever. Roo has had most of his dental work done and so far his kidneys are holding up. The vet said that his kidneys did suffer damage do to being so malnourished but since his health has returned he probably will not have any issues until later in his life...we will deal with it as it comes.

Roo has pretty much settled in now to our home...his home. Watching him now at 11 plus pounds it's easy to see that before he was ill, he was probably pretty tough because he is pretty tough now, ranking only under Mikey in a household of 7 cats. He has tried to bully Mikey a time or two with no such luck, Mikey is not having any of that but he has the others convinced that there is Mikey....and next comes Roo. lol

This photograph brings tears to my eyes because I know what he is thinking as he looks out the window, I can feel it. Roo has no interest in the outdoors at all this right here is it and who could blame him after being abandoned out there for so long...
I know he remembers.

As I type this Roo is curled up on my bed, on the heating blanket, he is sleeping, he looks so content. I hope someday he will forget the awful way he was treated and only have memories of today, Roo is loved now.

UPDATE
Roo was put to rest on November 28, 2011.
His presence in our lives is missed every single day.
Roo’s spirit taught me so much about appreciating life…right now.
His sweet soul and kind heart will live on….
for as long as I live, he shall not die.
