The weather was extremely hot on that fateful day of August 2, 2008. Mommy and Whisky were taking their evening stroll and decided on that day to walk another round around the field behind the house...and that was when she heard a distinct mew. They stopped and listened. And heard it again. Tiny baby mews.They peered into the drain and found Cosmo mewing pathetically and Ling was just sitting there, silent.
Mommy noted that there was this huge plastic bag with a ripped out hole at its side next to us. She thinks someone must have dumped us in the drain and we managed to get out of the bag but not out of the drain. We were just around 5 weeks old then. Weak and dehydrated, Mommy picked the both of us up and took us home, then to the vet. We were covered in fleas, full of worms and Ling had an eye infection.

Here we are, a day after being scooped out from the drain |
Well, we were supposed to have been put up for adoption because Daddy didn't want cats. But as soon as he laid eyes on us...well, Ling actually, his heart was stolen and that's how we ended up staying!
We refused to go near Mommy and Daddy for the first few weeks. We were terrified of them! But with lots of patience, love and time, we eventually got over our fear of them. However, we are still terrified of strangers.

| After Cosmo returned from being hospitalized for blockage, Ling hissed and hissed at him. Finally, several days later, love prevailed. I love this picture even if it's blurry |

How funny your dad fell in love with you instead of putting you up for adoption. :)
How could someone have dumped you two cuties?? What a great story of how you got gotted!
So precious! Mommy enjoys seein littermates. None of us are related by blood, just by luf.
this was the most beautiful story EVER!!!
How someone could have done something like that to the both of you is unfathomable.
on the good side, if it hadn't happened, you would have never had such a wonderful and caring home.
xoxoxoxo
Cosmo and Ling, your guardian angel was truly watching over you that day! :-)
I'm mad at mommy. I fink she never hit send in our comment several days ago and so that makes me doubly glad I came back via FB to see. I will fire her if she keeps that up!
It was meant to be. That is why your folks took a different way for their walk and soooooooo lucky for all of you to have found each other!!!!! Makes my heart grow two times bigger than it already is hearing this lovely story.
