Zhinn Lao Tzu, our brown tabby, moved in with us exactly two years ago (20Jul2009). At the time, we already thought that he was fully grown. The size of his paws should have told us otherwise. He was barely 4kg (8.8#) when he moved in and grew to his present 5.5kg (12.1#), of lean and healthy tomcat, in less than 6 months.
I don’t talk about it much but at the time I had already been on anti-depressants for a few months. Having Zhinn around helped me to get off them. Cats are good companions and Zhinn watches me like a hawk. He will not let me collapse in the computer chair without getting a loud “meow” directly in the ear. This pleases SG to no end because, since my stroke (May, 2007), she worries about me constantly. She worries less with my buddy Zhinn around.
