A MUST READ STORY OF THE INNATE AND ENDEARING QUALITIES OF THE PERSIAN CAT!
|
Beechwoods Archimedes RJ1-5 Solid Blue Male
He was delivered 5th during the cesarean birth of this litter of five on April 15, 2008.
This Beautiful Blue Boy has a Wonderful Disposition & a Vigor for Life that seems unmatched. Seemingly always sure of
who he was: he was never afraid of any of the adult cats here, and would usually walk right up to them, and stick his nose right
against theirs as if to say, "Hi, I'm Averil, and I'm Here!"
He was called "Averil", while here at Beechwoods (which is Middle English for born in the month of April).
Persians possess an innate sensitivity toward their humans; especially any one in pain or need;
Averil was a great comfort to me following my return from Fusion Back Surgery on June 5, 2008.
Then at young age of just 7 weeks - Averil would climb up on the bed where I had to lay and rub on me purring, and it was
always when I was in the most pain; he would then roll over on his back, grabbing my hand, and would insist that I rub his
belly - which seemed to have a very soothing and calming affect on me - and in turn would lower my blood pressure; He
would stay right by me, letting no one move him until my pain subsided (which he could somehow sense). I was very tempted
to keep him, and already had a name picked out (which I will not share at this time in the event that I may yet use it later).
As you can see, it was a hard decision for me to let him go, but when Steve & Lane came to visit and he let them rub his belly -
I felt he was adopting them as where he wanted to go (as if to say, "My work here, now is done, it is time for me to move on
for others who have need my special sensitive nature.");
And besides he put on quite a show that day displaying everything that he was capable of: running, jumping, climbing, playing,
and for his FINALE, of course, he rolled over in front of them, for the now infamous, "Belly Rub."
Now named "Archimedes"; A.K.A. "Archie," he has gone to live in a new wonderful home with Steve & Lane in Nashville.
