This is the stray that came to us after leaving the gym — photo to follow hopefully – update a day late….see photo below:
She kept on calling out and rubbing and thus we couldn’t leave her there with good conscience so we took her home as the 4th cat of ours.
At the moment she’s isolated till we get her feeling a little bit more energetic and at peace. Still is feeling a bit tense meeting the other 3 cats but hopefully eventually they’ll tolerate one another.
She reminded us of our first cat who came to our door literally for food which we then decided to take home, except this one seems 3-5 month old, and that’s the story of the calico we now call “Orange.” (update: changed to Cinnamon after discovering she is a tortie).
Hi Gabriel. I like your short story because you saved a cat from a street life. She liked you and you responded with kindness. That was a generous response because you have three cats already. Your cats are generous too as they will have to accept a newcomer.
Your photograph was not uploaded. I’d like you to try again. You can email me the picture if you wish at:

You should change the [at] to @ to make it work.
Thanks for submitting your story.
Good for you Gabriel!
Well said Leah. Thanks for using the phrase I mentioned 😉 There are millions like Gabriel and thank God for that.
Thank you Gabriel for sharing your story and photos, what beautiful cats you have 🙂
A lovely story from someone who is a ‘person who loves cats’ (not a ‘cat lady’) as Michael said the other day!) So wonderful that you have found time in your lives and your hearts from a little soul who was clearly very needing of love and affection.
Tortoiseshell cats have beautiful coats. I have just seen her photo, which I’ll add soon. She looks like a black tortoiseshell or very dark tortie.
Yes, correct Rose. Woody is about again. I have blocked him again but I have allowed some of his comments because we must always be aware of this kind of person and alert to their thinking. As ailurophiles we cannot form too cozy a group while ignoring the realities of what is out there. It is a kind of reality check. Woody is actually a bit more polite these days. Although bonkers.
