Mister’s story is a perfect example of how a cat can truly have multiple lives. In 2019, a heartless person dumped him on a road in the outskirts of Sonoma. He was elderly (probably 15 or 17) and starving, and had a severe case of ringworm by the time he was rescued by Pets Lifeline in Sonoma. He quickly captured everyone’s hearts. When he recovered from ringworm, he was offered the job of Head Office Boy in their office, where he diligently supervised his staff of adoring humans.

In an effort to find his human family (on the assumption that he’d been lost and not dumped), Pets Lifeline distributed posters of him in Sonoma. To get more publicity, Mister decided to run for mayor. Oddly, he lost the election, a clear example of election fraud, for how could he have possibly lost?

In January, 2022, he retired from his job to come live with me. He was a joy the entire time, just the perfect cat, so sweet and affectionate. In spite of the cruel human who dumped him on that country road, he loved humans. He thrived and was very happy looking out the window at the garden, or sitting in a sunbeam on my deck.

Sadly, a couple of weeks ago, he had a seizure, followed by a quick decline. Dr Henriksen gently helped him on to his next life, where he can romp as freely as he wanted to in this life, and be bathed in love. Mister, you will be a ray of light wherever you go. Good-bye, my sweeting, I will treasure our all-too-short time together always.
