Bandit, an 18-year-old Tonkinese, was surrendered to the Stafford County Animal Shelter in Virginia after his owner could no longer care for him. The sweet old cat was having a hard time at the shelter, still looking for his owner. Thankfully, he was adopted and is adjusting well in his new home. “He’s a sweetheart,” posted his new human, in a comment on the Stafford County Animal Shelter’s Facebook post about Bandit.
If you missed any of the stories featured on the Conscious Cat this week, here’s a recap: on Monday, we introduced you to Assisi Animal Health’s new DentaLOOP, on Tuesday, we ran the final installment of our three part series on moving with cats, on Wednesday, I shared a Ruby memory, on Thursday we featured a wooden scratching post and trackball toy, and on Friday we reviewed PetFusion’s cooling blanket.
We’ve all seen videos of cats drinking from faucets. Most of the time, the human servants turn the water on, but this kitty figured out how to do it all by himself. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!

This is beyond heartbreaking. I have promises from my sons that should something happen to my husband and me, they will adopt our kitties as their own.
I am so happy he found someone to live with. I admire people who adopt older or cats with health issues.
I love adopting the older cats for they are the sweetest people on Earth.
It’s heartwarming to read that an old cat surrendered to a shelter was able to get into a loving home. God bless the people who adopted Bandit. I hope he has a happy life in his new home.
