Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” new ARF cat Lucky was introduced to all the cats.
Lucky: I am so glad to meet all of you. You look very happy and content here. But why is there a kitten here? Shouldn’t he be adopted by now?
Atlas: Right? One would think. I am absolutely adorable.
Lucky: Have humans come to see you yet?
Phil: It’s been fairly quiet in here, especially this last weekend.
Atlas: A few have stopped by, but no one who is yet serious.
Phil: If humans only realized that we cats are so easy.
Harley: Easy, yes! We ask for so little.
Candy: Just some attention, a lap, food, water and a safe place to lay our heads at nap time.
Atlas: True, but being a kitten I require a little more attention. I just love to play.
Phil: Most of us also like to play, but of course not to the extent of a kitten.
Don: I sincerely believe this is the friendliest group of cats we’ve ever had here at ARF.
Phil: No one will ever realize this unless they come in to meet us.
Cuddles: I just want a lap to sleep on. That’s all. Oh, wait, and someone to give me love and affection.
Don: That could be a description for many of us.
Lucky: Yep, either loving and affectionate, or playful and fun.
Atlas: Or both!
Pepper: Anything just about anyone could want.
Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of our Nine Lives” each week. And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Highway 243. ARF is open Saturdays 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and during the week by appointment. Please call 951-659-1122.
