This month’s cat vocabulary is a term from Twitter known as furever home which means the home that cat gets for the rest of their life after living in a shelter.

Some cats don’t even make it to a shelter. Sometimes they find themselves homeless and not liking living on the streets. So, they wander around the neighborhood looking for their furever home. Some tend to find one by recognizing the signs of crazy cat people. Not that the humans always know it. Sometimes they find a way inside the house and settle in and wait for the human to show.

Much like the ones who are in shelters waiting for someone to come and adopt them. It’s hard to say how long they wait. It seems easier when they are kittens. When they become seniors, their odds of getting adopted decrease significantly. But seniors cats need homes too. They probably need something quiet and relaxing as their lives wind down. It just all depends upon the cat.

So, if you want or need a cat, please go to your local shelter first. Chances are good that you will find at least one good companion who needs love as much as you do.
