👋Hello, I’m Felix! I’m a very handsome (and well covered!) gentleman!🐈⬛🐱
I’m in my retirement years at the grand age of nearly 16, however I do help my Mum, Veronica with co – editing ‘The Scratching Post’ for Worthing Cats Protection.
Worthing Cats Protection means a lot to me. I don’t like to talk about my past (my Mum doesn’t know much about my past at all, she certainly doesn’t know anything about me before I ended up living with an elderly gentleman) – But as elderly gentlemen do he died. I was very scared when the emergency services turned up and escaped. (My Mum often tells me I’m a big wimp!)
I spent a several weeks living rough close to my home, but no one could catch me. It was only due to the perseverance of several people at Cats Protection including Vicky and her son and Terry that eventually I was brought into care and looked after.
I was in poor condition and had been in a few scraps and was very scared. I was checked over at the vet’s where they also stuck vaccinations in me! But apparently I was in good health!
I was then taken to my new Mum’s house. To start with she and my new Dad didn’t see me as I hid a lot. I would hide every time anyone came to the door, especially if that person had a uniform. My Dad’s florescent work coat also made me very nervous! Mum says I have slowly got better. I’ve been here for five and a half years now and when people I know come round I do pluck up the courage to say hello. Mum has said I am very loving and gentle.
I like to help Mum with her sewing, jigsaw puzzles and making sure I’m right in the way when she’s trying to write out neutering vouchers! I love being in the garden and I have made friends with several frogs and even a hedgehog! I adore food, sleeping and sun bathing but also enjoy helping with ‘The Scratching Post.’
