THE STORY OF THOMAS STARTS WITH HIS MOTHER. THOMAS’S MOTHER CAME TO US UNEXPECTLY, WE PICKED HER UP AT A DUMPSTER WHERE SHE WAS ALONE AND HUNGRY. SHE WAS A TAME CAT SO SOMEONE HAD DROPPED HER OFF. WE FOUND OUT SOON THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT AND HAD FOUR KITTENS. THOMAS WAS THE ODDBALL OF THE FAMILY. ALL THE OTHER KITTENS WERE LONG HAIRED AND BUSHY AND THOMAS WAS SLICK HAIRED AND HE WAS THE ONLY YELLOW TABBY I OWNED. HE WAS REAL THIN AND SICKLY WAS HE WAS BORN, BUT GREW INTO A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL CAT. HE WAS REALLY SPECIAL TO ME. HE WOULD NOT COME UP TO YOU BUT WHEN HE WANTED TO BE LOVED AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED HE DIDN’T WANT YOU TO STOP.
HE WAS STRICTLY A OUTSIDE CAT DID NOT LIKE TO BE CLOSED IN. WE NOTICED ON JAN. 10TH HE WAS NOT ACTING NORMAL AND WAS GOING TO CARRY HIM TO THE VET ON MONDAY SINCE THE 10TH WAS ON SUNDAY. WE DON’T HAVE ANIMAL HOSPTIAL WHERE I LIVE OR WE WOULD HAVE GONE THEN. WHEN I TRIED TO FIND HIM THE NEXT DAY HE WAS NOT THERE. IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO FIND HIM AND HE HAD PASSED. IT LOOKED LIKE HE JUST LAID HIS HEAD ON HIS PAWS AND WENT TO SLEEP. IT REALLY BROKE MY HEART TO SEE HIM. HE WAS VERY MUCH LOVED AND WILL BE VERY MISSED.
WITH LOVE,
