Did you see the pictures of Phil's latest rescue on rpch+b? He reminds me a
lot of Duffy when you first got him.

He does look a bit like Duffy did, but Duffy was much thinner. He looked
like a little impoverished waif when I first saw him. I give the shelter
staff a great deal of credit, though. They said he simply "would not eat
well" in the shelter (and I can't blame him, in a small cage with the
constant sounds of dogs barking all around). That was a kill shelter, and
their policy was to keep animals for at least 14 days. Well, Duffy was
there for several months, so they were obviously trying to find a home for
him. I have sometimes thought of all the people who must have bypassed him
during those months -- lucky for me (and for him, I think) because that
means that he came into my life. He is such a loving, delightful little guy
to have around.

For those who don't know what we're talking about, look at the first picture
in the left-hand frame in the Duffy album. That's the picture I saw on
Petfinder.com that first aroused my interest. He wasn't in the shelter in
my town. He was in a shelter in a neighboring town, about 35 miles from
here.

Lucky for him for sure! I am amazed every time I see those pictures and
compare them to him now - he doesn't even look like the same cat. You've
done wonderfully well by him.
