My Little Bit

My husband and I were sitting on the porch one day talking when all of a sudden, I saw this kitten. He was about starved to death, something had torn his ear, and he couldn't see out of one eye. I got some food and put it out for him. He would not let us get close to him. He slowly went to the food and gobbled it down. I also put water out.

I kept doing this, and finally he would let me get close but still not touch him. He was scared to death of people. I kept working with him until finally he would let me touch him. He still would not let my husband touch him. I just kept working with him and finally decided to try to get him to come in the house. After much work and time, he finally came in.

It has been four years now and I can happily say my Little Bit is the love of my life. I love this little cat so much. He still will not let anyone but me touch him. When I go to bed at night, he snuggles right up next to me and I rub him until he goes to sleep. I do not know what I would do without Little Bit.

My husband passed away January 8, 2023, so Little Bit has filled a big hole in my heart. I don't know where Little Bit came from but I sure am glad he chose me and Joe.
