Some homes receive mail, others receive packages. Then there are houses like this one, where the Cat Distribution System apparently delivers full citizens. Hector arrived first, an orange tree-dwelling stray who slowly decided indoor life wasn’t such a terrible idea. He became part of the family, king of the yard, and resident yowler.
Then his voice took on a new purpose. After a week of nonstop yelling, Hector finally revealed why: a tiny grey kitten hiding under the juniper, scared, starving, and trying his best to disappear. That was Norris. One gentle paw on a hooman leg was all it took for everyone to know he needed a home.
Poor Norris was barely six pounds and somehow surviving on two broken back legs in coyote territory. With surgery, months of rehab, and Hector’s patient big-brother supervision, he slowly rebuilt his strength. Now he’s double the weight, full of confidence, and loudly demanding snacks like any proper house cat. He may never jump like a typical cat again, but he climbs, cuddles, and thrives. Some deliveries arrive right on time.
