King The Kicked Cat Nicely Re-Homed

Imagine having someone video you while you viciously kick a cat sending it 10 feet into the air into a bush. The arrogance of it is astonishing.
Anyway, this is a happy ending and my God we like happy endings and I want to thank Dee for picking out this little story for me.
ASPCA report that “The King Has Found His Castle”. I like that. King has been adopted by Chris Scordo who lives in Manhattan, New York. Chris saw the story about King in the Daily News. He says,
“In the paper was a photo of this really handsome cat. I remembered seeing the earlier headline about him and thought the paper had been sitting around for a long time. I was sure the adoption was over. Then I saw the date and headed to the ASPCA.”

He wasn’t expecting to find a new cat companion so soon but when Chris saw the photographs of King he liked his expressive face and thought he was “very bright eyed”. Chris liked King even before we met him.
Chris was surprised (as am I) to be the first person to arrive at the ASPCA for a chance to interact with King. Chris was interviewed by a cat behaviour counsellor before being given the green light to adopt him.
On the first night Chris stayed up all night interacting with King! He says,
“I stayed up the whole night that first night – King needs a lot of engagement!”
Chris says that King is a bit of a tough guy which is probably a reflection of his past life. It’s nice to know that King is still a trusting cat. It hasn’t taken him long to settle in which must be very good sign.
King allows Chris to hold him for short periods although at the beginning he was a bit unsettled. This is all normal and it seems to be going well. Chris has retained King’s name. He’s a celebrity. You can’t change the name of a celebrity, can you.
King has a bright future….
“He’ll never suffer again. He’ll have a heated bed in the winter, the best food and medical care, all the toys he wants, and plenty of love and affection.”
Yes, Chris is a real man,but not because of his looks ,because of his compassion for kitties. But to tell the truth ,I did take a second look at him.lol
Well said. Now keep focused on the cats 😉
I want to see Chris Scordo (hunka hunka) on the Homepage about men who love cats, Michael.
Yes but the owners deserve a focus, too. Don’t you think it MICHAEL? and one suggestion from me, Why don’t you join a gym? I will if I get a beautiful cat alongwith pretty women comments 😉
well King is very lucky cat and still some where deep in my heart, I am sad about the cruelty behaviors of human being, I don’t know how to stop or just literate such people.
I have a suggestion for all governments of the world to add a subject from the right beginning in schools, if most probably they can add CAT WELFARE / ANIMAL WELFARE as a necessary readings from school to 10th class, maybe it can help to understand the behavioral aspect of human beings to improve towards the animals.
But! I think five fingers are not equal and we human differ from one another in many ways. 🙁
I totally agree that animal welfare should be taught at school. I have written about that. The children are the future and it will take time for improvements in animal welfare to be made.
Wonderful result, it warms the cockles of the heart!
Dee fancies Chris 😉
She so does!! No competition here I like them a bit softer round the edges, too much bulging there for my taste 😉
I would pet him and groom him and feed him and cuddle him and play with him all day.
LOL. You made me laugh. Thank you. It cheered me up on a dull British day.
What a happy ending to King’s story, I’m so pleased for him.
There are two “camps”. The people who damage and hurt others and the people who care and nurture. There are some good’uns out there.
I’m so impressed that this big, strong hunk of a man is a cat lover. I love looking at him.
Hey, Chris…
I’m up for adoption too!
LOL. I am pleased you are pleased with a bit of “eye candy”. You should be focusing on the cat not the man 😉
Eye candy indeed. That is what I call a real man.
I don’t share Dw.
I saw him first.
♫ Fetch a bucket of water boys there’s fire down below ♫ 😉
Now can Chris go kick the thug that kicked King? I’d like to see that on video 🙂
Yes, he is the right size for the job!
I’d pay money to see that video.
HAHAHAHA then let me offer the services 😉 Dee
Thats such a wonderful and heartwarming story. So pleased and happy he’s got a forever home, where he wont be hurt and a warm bed in the winter, even better. Seems his new dad is a cat person too. Which is great. It’s good to have something positive. King looks really happy too. Great result!
Chris was the first inline. He must have passed a pretty tough test because of King’s celebrity status. Good to see as you say.
P.S. This is another nice feeling story designed to try and lift Ruth 😉 Hope you are OK Ruth. That said, we all need some nice stories. About 80% of cat stories are rather sad to be honest.
