Gizmo is now 1 year with us

I found him out in the village of my friend. We saw him already early in the morning, as we arrived out there. He was sitting on top of a small stonebridge, and watching everybody passing by there. He was so sweet...

  

My friend saw him too, but continued to drive, as we had some work to do out on his field. Just some hours later, we passed by there again, as we wanted to let his dog drink some water and to take a bath down at the water place.

As we arrived there, we immediately saw the sweet cat again. We didn't know how his dog would react when he see him. So I ran to him. But a car came at that moment. My heart nearly stopped, because Gizmo had moved towards me. But when I got afraid, he stopped too. I thank God for that.

As soon as the car had passed, I ran over to him, and he to me, miaowing loadly, answering my calling. And when I took him up into my arms, he started to purr like crazy and pressed his little body against my breast, nestled his little head to my neck. And then he looked up in my face with his beautiful eyes. He showed me with all his presence - I'm yours. Take me with you. So we did. We went back on the field. And when we came there, I cried.... I cried so much and needed some time to calm down again. 

I once lost a cat. She looked a bit like Gizmo. Her name was Shiva. And one day when she went out as usual early in the morning, and didn't return... That morning when that happened, I woke up because my other cat Dodscha was miaowing very load somewhere out there. It was so loud, that I went out of bed, took some clothes, and went out to look. 

She had somehow followed the house owner up the stars, slinked inside the apartment, and ran out on the balcony. When I saw her, she was hiding behind the aircondition box. Looking down on me in panic. So I ran up the stairs and out on the balcony, and fished her out of there. Running out as fast as I came, with her in my arms. Because Dodscha don't like to be carried. 

Why she followed the house owner up to his apartment, I don't know... Maybe she was looking for Shiva, something happened, she got afraid, and was hiding there. Because she knew that man well. I was living in his other house opposite. When I was visiting my mother in Sweden, he took care of my both cats, gave them food every day.  

Anyway, back to that when I cried so much as I had found Gizmo. My friend and I worked all the day on his field, and the small cat was going around there, feeling very comfortable with us. As soon as I left him for continuing working, he miawod loud. When I came to him to pick him up, he always started to purr and to relax. So we putt him under a vegetable box, that was just perfect. He could see us all the time. After a while he slept. While the dog of my friend was lying nere the box and made Gizmo some company. 

 That kind of box it was

Dodscha is a very special cat, that don't accept everybody, and likes to be on her own a lot. So I was not shure what to do with Gizmo. Take him home and hope that she would accept him. Or to bring him back to the place where we first found him. But Gizmo showed me all that day what he wanted. He followed me wherever I walked.

So I sat down on a big rock with Gizmo sitting on me. And I was asking God what to do. "Please help me. Give me a sign". While I was sitting there, I sended a sms to my friend in Austria, and asked her what to do. If she could recieve a message from God for me. If we got the same answer, it would be right.

While I was waiting for her answer, I looked at my phone. I saw the date, and suddently I realized everything, and I got goosebumps all over my body... I started to cry so havingly. This cat Gizmo - was my lost Shiva...  And in the same time I understood that, my friend from Austria answered me and told me to take the cat home. Everything will be fine, she wrote.
