Ugly Bawb

Tweet

Okay, this is a long story. In 2004, around Xmas, a friend called & said she found this starving persian cat & could she bring him by. She gave me a lot of reasons, but I suspect its because he had very bad litterbox habits as we discovered. But back to the cat. He was so malnourished, his fur was falling out. He weighed 6 lbs, he should've weighed 12-14 lbs. After I found out he was a he, I told them his name was Bob, but the roomie said we had to spell it Bawb. I mean, this was one UGLY cat (well, remember his fur was falling out.) Now, I don't do grooming, that's why I prefer short haired cats so when his fur grew in, he still was a mess. I took him to get groomed & discovered that one of the groomers was looking for a persian cat. I didn't lie about his bad habits, but she took him anyway. She loved him, keep him beautifully groomed, got him so he seldom had litterbox issues, even dressed him up. This from a cat that would sometimes just attack us out of the blue - not often, but never did it to her. Well, I got a call yesterday from my friend who's cat was at the emergency vet. She was talking to one of the receptionests about cats and she told her about Bawb. The receptionest said that a friend of hers had a cat like that, & he went missing shortly before the time Bawb was found. My friend said that she thinks Bawb was the cat & that the lady should tell her friend that her cat was rescued & lived a good life afterward. Turns out that Bawb was Damian & a bad boyfriend who didn't like him let him out while she was gone for Thanksgiving. So, now we have some resolution on where Bawb came from & she has some closure on what happened to her cat.
