Please give a huge paws up and welcome the newest Star Kit, Teddy. He is 4 and a half years old from Jasper, Alabama.
Baby Kitty Teddy came into my life after a tornado. We found him outside on the ground. I actually thought he was a baby mole. I had raised two Kitty’s on bottles from 3 days old previously so I decided to give it a try again. I smuggled the little guy in to my job and kept him warm and fed under my desk. I watched him grow ounce by ounce. I took him everywhere with me. I had no idea how completely in love I would be. I’ve had many cats through the years but never one with so much attitude and personality. While I consider him a purrrfect lil Angel, his nickname by my family was Devil Cat. I have to mention it was 5 weeks before my boss found out about him. Mainly because he jumped out of my hands ran across the office and up my bosses leg. After the initial shock, and a scary glance from the boss, he was soon accepted as the office mascot. He really was spoiled by everyone.
My story is in past tense because my baby is no longer with me. He went missing Sept 21, 2015. He had been neutered and didn’t roam. He was 2 and a half years old. I had no idea I would regret letting him have his way this morning. Every morning around 4 am he would insist (loudly)on being let outside. He would welcome the sun each day on the porch outside my bedroom. I would always open the door around 6:30 and he would run in, I would give him breakfast while I got ready for work. I had no idea when I let him out that I would never see him again. The guilt still eats at me even now. We searched the area, posted posters everywhere. Posted on Facebook. Had a search team looking for him. We checked with all the vets and animal shelters. My husband covered the yard and the woods. My heart still wants to believe he is out there somewhere with a new family that loves him as much as we do. I would be honored if you would consider my little love as your daily kitten

POUNCE !
Such a handsome boy. He will always be in your heart.
Oh such a bitter sweet story about Teddy.
When you invest so much of yourself into raising a kitten when they are so helpless then yes they totally steal your heart. You had an understanding boss thankfully. I absolutely adore the second pic, innocence in grey fur.
Please don’t feel guilty about Teddy’s disappearance, you had no idea that day would be any different to all the other times he went out to greet the sun. You still have a lovely fur filled corner in your heart .
Wee Teddy is as adorable as a teddy bear. What one doesn’t know one cannot know, at the same time please don’t blame yourself. Ideally he was taken in by another person and is doing well – but not a person as awesome as you.
Beautiful Teddy. This is so sad. You gave him 2 and a half good years that he would not have had without you, and that is something to cherish, but I understand your pain. I’ve also had a cat just vanish, approx 37 years ago, and I still feel awful about it.
I am so sorry you lost your Teddy! The not knowing is hard. I am 69 years old and I lost a cat when I was young (probably around 10 years old) that was just “gone.” I still think about him. I pray that Teddy is somewhere in a loving family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know guilt would do me in so I have never allowed my “kids” outside. They’re all doing just fine. You did your best to save him so he had a few good years. That’s better than none if you hadn’t rescued him.
Your site helped me a lot by knowing many things, thank you very much.
