Follow up to introducing new furbabies: Julius Story- My stray

I realized after reintroducing my furbabies, technically Marcie and Juluis are both new to this blog as well! 😮 While Marcie's story is special and my daughter saved money to get her herself 4 years ago this coming summer, Julius' story has a story that I can't explain even today. You see, we had George for 3 years. Who was given to us by my friend, but unfortunately, passed away unexpectedly within 24 hr of realizing he was sick. We were heart broken by his death. About 2 weeks after, on a August 2nd, 2012. My daughter then who was only nine, decides to go outside to sit on our front steps, to get some fresh air, to only see a weak cat look at her from the neighbors steps, to meow at her,the slowly approach her. He was looking for love and affection. Eventually, she picked him up and brought him inside the house and goes to me, "Mama, what should we do with him?" With three cats in our home at that time, I said, I don't know? And not to mention it was really to late to think about that until the next day, so, I told her, he could stay the night in her room until we could figure something out. But you see, this particular cat, drew me and my heart, right away as number one, he came to my daughter for help, he was starving not only for food but possibly a loving home, which could provide and he knew that by seeing my daughter. Secondly, he had the same colorings as our late George! History is that we kept him in our home and our family. But as days and weeks of him being a part of our lives, I knee there was another reason he came into our lives. He was sharing the same or the identical traits as George had as Well! For example, our George, out of all our cats, would try and break out of our back door, so we had to "catproof" our door and had to do the same for our Julius! My daughter wanted to name, Julius after the "Orange Julius" from Dairy Queen but his first name would be Julius and his middle name would be "Orange". I thought that was a cute name. Juju being short. Years later, we realized even though, George was his given name, My daughter gave him his middle name, "Orange" as well! How canny is that! I will leave you with some comparable pictures of the two, so you can see for yourself and a video of George trying to escape as Juju does the same!
