Monsieur Chausson |
En 2008, je vivais avec mes deux amours, Merlin et Princesse. Au cours de l'été, Merlin s'est mis à développer une grosse boule à la gorge. Il maigrissait et le vétérinaire croyait à un cancer. A mon regret et un peu contre mon gré, j'ai dû faire euthanasier mon beau chat roux. J'ai tellement pleuré. C'était le chat de ma vie... selon moi. C'était le premier octobre.
A cette époque, Princesse avait 8 ans et avait toujours vécu avec un compagnon. Je désirais cependant attendre quelques mois avant d'adopter un autre chat, histoire de faire mon deuil. Je ne voulais pas d'un minou trop jeune. Je voulais un mâle d'environ 6 mois.
Quatre jours après la mort de Merlin, je travaillais. Comme c'était un samedi, j'étais en congé dans l'après-midi. Durant mon quart de travail, j'ai soudain su que je devais aller à la SPA de Québec sans attendre. Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi, mais j'ai pris mon intuition au sérieux.

Slurp! |
Il s'est très vite adapté à la présence de Princesse et ils sont devenus très bons amis. Il faut dire que Chausson est une grosse boule d'amour pur. Il est conciliant avec tous les autres chats. Il aime se mettre sur le dos et se faire flatter la bedaine.

Chausson a aujourd'hui 11 ans. Il est en pleine forme bien qu'un peu grassouillet. Il me montre tous les jours ce qu'est l'amour inconditionnel. C'est un bon chat!

In 2008, I was living with my two loves, Merlin and Princesse. During the summer, Merlin developed a big lump in his throat. He was losing weight and the vet was pretty sure it was cancer. To my regret and a little against my will, I had to euthanize my beautiful red cat. I cried so much. He was the cat of my life ... or so I thought. It was the First of October.
At that time, Princess was 8 years old and had always lived with another cat. I wanted to wait a few months before adopting another kitty, just to mourn. I did not want a cat too young and I wanted a male about 6 months old.

Four days after Merlin's death, I was working. Since it was a Saturday, I was on leave in the afternoon. During my shift, I suddenly knew that I had to go to the Quebec City SPA without waiting. I did not understand why, but I took my intuition seriously.
When I arrived at the shelter, there were a lot of people, mostly families with young children. I found that a large number of young cats around 6 to 8 weeks old were put on adoption. While going around the cages, I also saw many older cats, but no cat of 6 months. I was about to give up when I noticed that I had forgotten a cage in the bottom, all the way down. There was a beautiful gray and white cat lying there. The reason for the abandonment: allergy ... And he was 6 months old. I opened the cage, took the cat in my arms. He looked at me and became very soft ... No meowing, only pure confidence. I put the cat back in the cage, took the adoption papers to fill them. While I was waiting, I noticed that two ladies had opened the cage and took the cat in their arms. I went to them and said: "Excuse me but this cat is adopted" ... They put the cat back in the cage, and I adopted the gray and white cat.

The gray and white cat was first called "Mitten" but after a few days, I found that this name did not suit him and I renamed him Chausson.
He quickly adapted to the presence of Princesse and they became very good friends. It must be said that Chausson is a big ball of pure love. He is conciliatory with all other cats. He likes to be on his back and to be petted on the belly.
Chausson is now 11 years old. He is in good shape although a little chubby. He shows me every day what unconditional love is. He is a good cat!
