I’m sure all our PoC family will be pleased to hear that Chester is coming along very well.
He now has his own Facebook page:
‘Chester The Cat’
He has 144 fans and he says ‘I am making steps forward every day’.
His latest adventure was posing for ‘Your Cat’ magazine, he will be even more famous when it is published!
Also, Cats Protection.org say they may feature him in their Christmas fund raising emails.
I hope they do because he is such a brave little cat and his recovery physically and mentally from being almost drowned in motor oil by a gang of youths, is nothing short of amazing.
He wrote that his sense of smell was damaged, poor little cat, smelling food is a big part of a cat’s enjoyment of eating, but once he gets started he tucks in, he says there is no stopping him then.
I’ve promised to post this link on his Facebook page, so who knows, he may come along and comment himself because he hasn’t let his fame and the thought that there are many people who want to adopt him, go to his head lol
I think having other cats around and seeing them trust Marion and Steve and their family have helped Chester to trust them too. As well as the trauma of being abused by those youths he must have lost his mother and maybe siblings not long before that and felt lonely for feline company as he was only 6 weeks old and couldn’t have survived long on his own.
They were never found, just hope something horrible didn’t happen to them too and no one was there to save them.
So I think Chester will need a feline companion in his new home, if he goes to one, he still has a few problems so Marion has a dilemma deciding what’s best for him.
Sigh….lovely photo, full of emotional warmth. Good buddies, aren’t they. Very close. Looks like Chester has to stay.
What a beautiful photo! All three cats are gorgeous!
Chester would probably warm up to people more if there weren’t so many cats around. But he might be one of those cats who only bonds to one or two people and isn’t good with strangers.
My Monty has been like that, but he is getting better with new people. Unless the stranger smells of dog. That is unforgivable in Monty’s book.
You will love this photo of Chester, George and Prince together.
no-one could blame him at all if he never wanted to be around the human race again, but he has done so well to come so far. with lots of tlc (which we all know he gets in bucket loads!!)i’m sure he’ll continue to improve. he looks so comfy in the pic.
He is growing up. He’s going to be fine adult cat. We all love him. We have prayed from him in our own ways and wanted him to get to this moment. I love his coat too.
