Our Cappy: Purrfect Together 

by Joan Stewart Smith, Guest Blogger

Before our beloved cat came into our home, it was my teenage son who chose him over a cacophony of cats at the pet adoption center. He named this gentle tuxedo cat “Capulet” because he’d just acted in a youth production of “Romeo and Juliet,” playing Juliet’s tyrannical father.  But the only tyrannical thing about our sweet-natured Cappy was the hold he soon had on our hearts.

It’s tough being a teenager. Because my son didn’t grow up with siblings, he faced a learning curve adapting to a willful fellow creature, as cats will be cats. Cappy was going through his own issues, suddenly facing a strange new world without his previous owner. But soon their relationship flourished. 

They say that 80 percent of cat parents believe they can interpret their kitty’s meows.  When our very vocal Cappy calls out, my son knows exactly what he wants.  Each time that happens, I am reminded that he chose the perfect cat for our family.

Create your own Meowsterpiece, like the oil painting at the top of this post which I created with a photo I took of Cappy. In honor of Pet Wellness Month and Black Cat Awareness Month, it's so easy to show your kitty how much they're loved by creating this wonderful free cat lover's keepsake.
