The cat who rose from the dead

Romeo faceRomeo had been buried and mourned for. Our beloved pet, Romey the cat, was discovered dead while I was in Dublin and Jan was in Florida. Turns out, while we were mourning and missing Romeo for 5-6 weeks, he’d been locked in a friend’s basement with no food and water!

Romeo looking upApparently his caretaker Laurie had found a different dead cat that looked similar, so she buried him/her thinking it was Romey. When Jan returned from holidays a couple of weeks ago, she heard a cat meowing in the friend’s basement.

Romeo couchYou can imagine Jan’s surprise when she found her beloved Romeo, and my surprise when she brought him home! :shock: It was a real shocker. He’d been locked in the basement for 5+ weeks with no food and water! Somehow he’d managed to survive — mice? a miracle?

I dedicated a photo album to him: Romeo the Miracle Kitty We’re so happy he’s alive! Romey’s a sweet kitty. Only 8 lives to go…

Hello world!

I have decided that now is the perfect time to start a blog, since I have a great subject to blog about — the cat who returned from the dead.

I’ll share some thoughts, ideas, events, cool stuff on the ‘net, and maybe a tech thing or two as it comes up. I encourage you to leave comments and let me know what you think about anything.

Thanks for visiting! :mrgreen:
