Jett

My husband and I joke that Jett is our third Golden Retriever. I don’t think he knows he’s in the body of a cat. He ALWAYS greets us at the door. I work from home and wherever I am, Jett is. He jumps in his pet stroller every morning to walk his human sister to catch the school bus. He loves to go for rides in the jeep. He doesn’t hang his head out the window like a dog but he does stretch out on the dashboard or in the back window.

He is also very much our child! He’s our ornery toddler that gets into everything. He demands being the center of attention and requires lots of loves and pets. How can I deny anything to those blue eyes that peer into my very soul?

Of course, he IS a cat, so that rounds out his actions. His favorite thing to do is to hide on the ledge at the top of our stairs and execute a sneak attack when you come up. And he goes crazy for our daughter’s tuna packets. When she packs them in her lunch, watch out! Crazy cat will work his way into her satchel. Probably my “favorite” is when he decides I need to wake up. At any time of the night, I may be treated to a toy mouse dropped on my face. My very own personal invitation to play.

As you can tell, this boy has lots of personality! From the time 2 years ago when we went to my husband’s co-workers barn to “just see” the kittens, to today with his daily antics and cuddles, Jetty brings so much joy to everyone he meets and is a friend to all. We can’t imagine our lives without him.

We thought we would have to put our beloved Jett down because we couldn’t afford the surgery to unblock him so he could urinate again. He was in so much pain and he looked just terrible. All I could do was cry. Ellie’s Rainy Day Fund, and all of you that donate to it, are a prayer answered. You will never truly know how much you have done for our family. Bless you. We are FOREVER grateful!
