Happy Gotcha Day

I can't believe it's been 4 years since we brought Binx into our family.   

He was found at around 4 weeks old, 2.5 pounds roaming around the county by himself and someone picked him up and took him to one of the shelters.  They kept him in the front office in a large 6x6 foot cage away from all of the other animals because he was too small to get any vaccinations.  

A friend of ours was volunteering at the shelter and called us when he was ready to find a home to see if we wanted him.  We had just lost our last cat 6 months earlier and I really wasn't interested.  But then TBG sent me a video of him playing in his cage and I just had to meet him and the rest is history.

The first thing I noticed about him on the ride home was that he doesn't meow very much at all and still doesn't.  To say this little 3.5 pound ball of fur hit the ground running when we got home is an understatement.  I think he was so happy to be out of the cage and able to run.  Four years later and he still loves to fly through the house only now he's up to 11.6 pounds and even louder.

He is smart, curious, brave and strong.  He's been doing pull ups on the counters and window ledges since he was probably six months old.  He has his own relationship with both of us.  I am his play buddy, the one he hangs out with and the one he snuggles up to at night.  TBG is his person though and he sticks by his side like glue when he's home.  Binx is a true joy to have in our lives.
