Meet Andy!
NOT “Polly” 😂😂😂
Good morning, sweet people of New Day! Thank you for opening this message 😍
For those of you who already know or think you know who Andy is, you might be thinking that this subject line is a cheap ploy to get you to open my message.
And maybe it is! 😊
I wasn’t able to send you a message earlier this week, because last weekend I was out of town (at a retreat in Michigan that was BEAUTIFUL).
I’ve been missing reaching out to you and wanted to send you something, so I thought I might as well give you the information that inquiring minds want to know!
In Michigan at the Awakened Souls retreat last weekend (we were overlooking Lake Michigan!)
Andy is our new cat! That’s right– I’m now a cat-mom to two, y’all! 😊😺😺
Andy was a surprise. We had no immediate plans to adopt another cat.
But then I saw a post in a local Facebook Group about a homeless stray cat.
And I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that this mystery cat was a Ragdoll!!
When Josh and I had discussed, in the past, what type of other cat Jethro might hypothetically be open to having as a sibling, we had agreed that a Ragdoll could be our next cat.
And so now there was a stray Ragdoll?! Clearly we needed to act! 💥💥
The only slight hiccup in the “adoption” process was that when we met the cat for the first time, we were told that the cat was a girl.
We immediately began calling her/him (them?!) “Polly” (which he/they seemed to like!) 😺😂
The next day we took the cat to the vet and found out that he’s a boy. Then after that he was nameless for several days as we tried to regroup 😂
(Also good news– he’s in perfect health and most likely 2-5 years old)
We started calling him Andy after the “Raggedy Andy” doll. He is still quite scrawny from his mysterious life on the streets, but under our care he is beginning to look fancier by the day 😍
Andy has been with us now for almost 2 weeks, and we are finding that he is one of the most loving, outgoing, and charming cats we’ve ever met! 😻
In fact, he’s so easygoing that I might even be able to bring him downstairs to be an “office cat” every once in a while!
Jethro isn’t so enthralled by him. . . but I am happy to report that they are co-existing and we are making sure to give Jethro lots of extra love and reassurance to ease the transition. We hope that they we eventually be buddies. 😺😺👩❤️👨☀️🏡
So here he is– Andy!
