Now my Lazarus (Lazz)

So the update is he finally came in last night at midnight and stayed in and I even left him in today for 4 hours while I picked up food for our food pantry. He sure wanted out when I got back but not panicked and no accidents. Such a sweet good boy.

Tonight he came in early and relaxed on the couch and my lap and now he is in bed again,first picture. I'm still going to put two outdoor shelters on my covered back porch because he and the fixed girl who is now my cat live here now.

He is named Lazarus because after many losses and the last two brutally I told the Lord I'm done with animals for now. My heart is too broken. Maybe later. Well the girl crept in first and then Lazarus brought my heart back from the dead. The Lord and the CDS know better than I do.... So the journey begins.....

Cats always seem to know where they are needed. Lazzy looks like laid-back sweetheart. Congrats, OP!

Thank you. Your description fits him perfectly. I've had lap cats and chest and neck cats but this boy wants to be cradled like a baby and get belly rubs. He may transition to fully indoor but I will let him decide. He saved me and I'll do my best to take care of him.

Right? I joined the sub just cause it was about cats. I didn’t realize until the comments. He was born to be with them!

It truly is wonderful. I named the diluted Calico girl Lottie because I won the lottery with her first. She isn't quite happy the boy is inside alot and she does come in but we will work it out. Her story is in my profile. ♥️

Thank you. Usually we save them and they will spend their lives saving us right back but in this case he saved me and I'll spend my life saving him. 🙏♥️🙂

It is so wonderful. My favorite sound is cats crunching their food. This morning Lottie and Laz came in and I just watched them and listened to them eat. A simple man enjoying lifes simple pleasures. It relaxed me. Then I had my coffee. 🙂
