Tommy Snows Diary

I'm a Lucky Boy
Handsome, Huh?
Hello fellow Cats and cat lovers
My name is Tommy snow and I am a very lucky cat and rather handsome too, don't ya think? I was rescued from a terrible blizzard in Michigan a few years ago.
I was homeless and cold and hungry.
I crawled up into a semi truck engine that was parked at a truck stop.
The engine was warm and I was very cold.
Before the truck driver started the truck up to leave he did a safety check of the engine and found me sleeping there trying to stay warm.
He called a local woman who was a cat rescuer and she came out in the raging blizzard and 5 degree temperatures and picked me up.
I was so scared but I was glad to be going someplace warm where I would get food and love.
I never had a name before but she named me TOMMY SNOW.
TOMMY, because I was a un-neutered male tom cat, and SNOW because I was rescued in a Snow blizzard. Great name huh?
That lady who rescued me was my hero and I grew to love her quickly.
She kept me and made me a part of a loving, forever home and I still live there today along with my other feline house cats who are all rescues.
I look out the window everyday and see other cats roaming the street, looking for food and shelter and I feel bad for them.
I remember those days where food was hard to find and shelter was scarce.
I don't miss those days at all.
I am a strictly INDOOR ONLY cat and you may think that's not fair to me but I know all too well the dangers of going outdoors.
Other cats jump on you and fight and injure you. Other animals spread deadly disease and there is nobody to cuddle and love you.
So I don't miss being outdoors at all.
I am SAFE and secure and LOVED inside my wonderful home.
I get regular food, and water and when I feel sick , I go to a great Vet who takes good care of me. Most of all, my human caretaker LOVES ME and will never let anything bad happen to me.
So, yes, I am a lucky, LOVED Cat!
Life is good and I Am grateful.
Thank God there are people out there devoted to giving homeless cats a new life.
Until next time
MEOW
TOMMY SNOW
