This is Yumyum,I rescued him from a NC rest area in 11-02 he was 11m I stopped at rest area there was no one around whn I wnt in. But when I came out, sat on the bench waiting for my friend.This Kitty appeared,so of course I patted him, then my friend & I started bk to the car.I looked down there was the kitty,so I couldnt leave rt then & I said to my friend, lets see wht they have in the vendening mach for the kitty to eat. We found cheese,crackers, wnt behind the building, so I crumbled up th cracker & cheese, put them on the grd, kitty started to eat, so we figuare we could sneak away, well we made it to corner of th building,there he was rt at my heals.So I went inside,ask th attendant if she new who's cat it was,she stated they have been here for about 3 months.So I told her tht I wanted to take th kitty hm, if she had a box to put him in for the dr to SC where I lived at the time.He hd fleas,ear mites hair was matted,thin.Yumyum vet visit was grt except for fleas,ear mites,thin.He will be 8yrs in December of 2009.As you can tell he is not a thin kitty anymore,yes he is on a diet to lose some wt.Yumyum is a loveable,friendly,& follows me everywhere in the house,so very happy, glad that I stopped at that rest area that day!He is a house kitty along w/my other kitties,I love them all so very much.
