“Chloe crouched under a chest of drawers in the hallway of her owner’s house. She was a small, lilac Burmese cat. She meowed with a thin, high-pitched voice, while she trembled with nervous tension. When I held out my hand to her, she let me pet her, but continued to meow while she wandered restlessly about on the hairy floor.”
My two Burmese cats are rescues that came to me at a mature age. This is Chloe’s story, told as creative non-fiction.

Thank you so much Elizabeth for giving this story a good home.

Love the photo! Glad to get to know both cats a little better through this touching story. So this means Chloe is 13 years old? I had no idea. The first days sound nightmarish, with her constant scratching, meowing and running around the borders of the room. Great that the three of you got through the rough parts to get to where you are today, a happy family.
Thank you very much for reading and commenting!
Chloe will be 13 in March. Hopefully, she will stay as healthy as she is now for a long time.
Both cats had some health issues when they came here, but when that was treated, the cats turned out so harmonious and fun.
They really are two little personalities in fur and I’m grateful for every day we have together.
