I'm in love with Tripod

Tripod, (not a great name and I may change it) so called because he had to have his front left leg amputated is such a dote.  He is the most loving cat.  He hopped up on my lap just a while ago, tucked his back into my chest, placed his head under my chin, closed his eyes and purred away with a look of pure satisfaction, it was priceless.  Now, I'm sure there are people who will argue that cats don't "do" facial expressions, but us cat owners know different, don't we? 

He's one of the sweetest cats I've rescued in some time (ok, they're all sweet in their own way) and it'll break my heart to home him but he will make someone a wonderful pet.  I must find someone who will appreciate him, so many people don't appreciate cats, or take the time to get to know them and their little ways. Which is sad for them because cats will enrich your life so much if given half a chance. They lower your stress levels, make you laugh with their antics and are so easy to care for IF you do the basics.

Tripod is fully recovered from his op, (some of his tail is missing also), so hopefully it won't be long before he gets a new home where he'll get all the love he deserves.  But I'll sure miss him.
