Harry - a special seal point kitten by Jenny Jones
In May our siamese queen Ellie had 3 boys, the smallest a weedy little seal point who needed lots of extra TLC. I had no thought of keeping him as husband (he who thinks he is the boss) had decided no more boys after we lost our male neuter who’d sprayed almost every day of his 13 years.
The seal point kitten, who we called Harry, stayed a little longer to make his size and weight but eventually grew into a handsome little chap who has a delightful personality.
A few weeks later I had a phone call from what sounded like a really good home but half way through telling them about Harry, I found myself saying 'well we are not certain what we are doing with him I'll call you back'. Off the phone I realized I could not bear the thought of parting with him, such a charmer, he adores everyone and everything in this world and never stops purring. Rather cleverly (I thought), I said to Al, 'perhaps we should keep Harry he was such a poorly little chap'. The reply was 'I knew there was no way you were going to let him go, but if he sprays he's out' (as if!!) Reading between the lines I realized that hubby loved the little chap as much as I did.
A few weeks later our beloved tortie siamese Poppy had tests at the vet and we were told we were going to lose her. We realized then that fate had destined that we had been meant to keep Harry and even during the sad dark days before and after we lost Poppy, we could not help but smile at his antics and loving ways (he steals belts and drags them around with his mum chasing them and retrieves for hours).
He has even helped console Amy who was Poppy's best friend, cuddling her and washing her right up to the end, we knew she would be missing her so much but Harry helped by cuddling up to her almost as if he knew how sad she was.
His mother dotes on him and he has become rather spoiled as befits such a special kitten!
And so far he has not sprayed..........!
