Ru Update
Yesterday, I bought Ru a handsome black leather collar with little diamond crystals on it, but was afraid that once again someone would remove it. I suspected he had people, but didn’t know for sure. So I attached a friendly note asking that the collar stay on for his own protection, because otherwise Animal Control might get him. I didn’t give my name or address, or anything, because the last time I took in a cat who later was found to have people, it was this crazy, paranoid Mexican lady who refused to collar the cat or even go to the shelter to look for him when he finally did go missing.
When Ru showed up this evening, imagine to my surprise that there was a little return note attached to his collar. I cut it loose and unrolled it very carefully. In tiny handwriting, Ru’s human told me she was happy to share him with me, because her job meant her time was very limited; she gave me her name and address, and even his vet’s information.
Turns out that Ru’s real name is Trouble. He’s four years old, micro-chipped, fixed, and has had throat surgery after getting into a fight with an opossum that nearly killed him (definitely sounds like Ru, the little scamp). He’s also a big sweetheart.
Right now, the little troublemaker is sleeping on his special towel on the couch, and is very happy to be indoors where it’s warm.
