news:d6e77d55bb05c173ff431da07ff9969a.76411@mygate .mailgate.org... My younger brother has spent the last 18 months winning the trust of a hard stray tuxedo boy living rough on his military base. He eventually trapped him, neutered him, and moved him into his quaters for further socialisation, as well as having him treated for a couple of really nasty infected absceses and a broken paw/leg. He's adopted him and has called him "Captain Kabul" as a gesture of respect that he survived a tough deal for so long. Despite advertising him extensively, no one came forward to claim him - my bro thinks he was a dumpee when someone moved from the base. This boy was a tough kitty to work with. He'd been quite badly abused and beaten up on, and it took him a good 18 months before he relaxed around my brother enough to let him trap him. Today, 9 weeks after trapping, my bro rang me up. Apparently Captain is crashed out fast asleep, in the middle of my brothers bed on his back, with all four paws in the air and his whiskers and paws are twitching as he's dreaming. He's relaxed enough that he lets my brother stroke him and he sleeps on the bed with him. I think that's one kitty boy who is relieved to be "home". Helen M How wonderful for both of them! Kudos to your brother for being so patient. A lot of people would have give up after a few weeks or months. Joy |

Purrs for the Lost ones who have been found but were never forgotten
Everyone prays for a big miracle but it is the little ones that we work for everyday that truly leave their mark on our lives "Helen Miles" wrote in message news:d6e77d55bb05c173ff431da07ff9969a.76411@mygate .mailgate.org...

He has performed a kitty miracle. I love the image of Captain sleeping. Utter trust and contentment. -- CATherine |
