2020
Covid

A year
of Chaos
and Fear

Ruby Sue you have got to be kidding!

 

So 2020 meant the lost of two old furry friends, our Shunka in February and our Wooley Bear in April.  It also meant the loss of a way of life because of the disease that decided to take over the world, our world.  It also meant we started anew with a cat who was a pig in a poke so to speak.  This black and white long haired Tuxedo cat from Responsible Pet Shelter in Norway.  I saw her nose in the blanket and her tail and after viewing or slightly viewing a number of cats I made the decision based on her tail that she would be our new family member.  She was officially Ruby Sue till half way home I found a name I could live with that sounded sort of like her name..... Rugula, aka Scatter Rug.

 


 She is a scared cat who has come a long way from her blanketed arrival in 90 degree temps in June till now in December she is semi scared cat.  She is better with me, but ever with me she has many moments of terror.

We saved her from a cage in a shelter.  She is not outside so I feel she is still sort of caged, but she doesn't know that.  Her life is good and she obviously was meant for us. The question with rescues is always  Who saved Whom?
