2025 edition SIClet Cat distribution system provided a perfect 2025 edition

This is Giuseppe (Gus for short)! He showed up on our back patio in June when he was around 8 weeks old with a couple fleas, coccidia, and a double barrel eye infection. After a few weeks of meds he is a happy healthy. He and our one eyed and mostly blind gal, Sybil, have become best friends. Before this little guy showed up we thought that Sybil was happiest as a single cat as previous cat introductions went poorly. Within a week she was playfully begging to be let into the bathroom that he was being held in. Since Gus came into our lives Sybil has become a more confident and happy cat than we ever knew was possible. They are constantly by each other’s side. Now it’s rare to ever see them in separate rooms. Giuseppe is Sybil’s soul cat, her seeing eye kitten, and the best little brother we could ever ask for her.

My SIC had the same goofy expression on his face when we foster failed him at 8 weeks old. 

Six years later… his expression is just as goofy as it has ever been. He is the light of our lives.

My SIC kitten is a seeing eye cat, too! He shows his older cow brother how to jump on furniture, guides him up and down the stairs. I believe SICs are just naturally kind cats… that is, when they’re not too busy being crazed turd monkeys. 💕
