Hi everyone,
Today’s guest post comes from Kosmo
The Life of Kosmo
On June 2014 we were mourning, our hearts were broken. Our dear cat
Viiru had heard his sister´s call from the Rainbow Bridge and left us.
We were crying every day and we decided never ever to take a pet,
because we cannot stand the moment they must go.
After three weeks a young black and white cat walked to our yard. I was
sitting on the steps and the cat came straight to my lap. I was really
surprised, my first thought was that Viiru has come back, only the
colours were different.
I asked the cat wait for a second, and I brouht him a bowl full of cat
food. He was really hungry.
Now Kosmo tells his story:
I had lost my home, I was in a strange village, I walked and walked
trying to find my home. I was hungry, tired and my tail was injured when
I heard a human voice, it was a grey haired women and I fellt so
terrible lonely that I walked to sit to her lap. She gave me food, much
food. I ate and went to sleep under a bush. I follwed this human all
time, that she is does not disappear.
These two humans took photos of me. They said that they try to find my
home. They didn´t find and nobody missed me.
Humans asked me to come in and they showed me a cup full of food. So I
went in and never came out. I got a home. In ten minutes humans arranged
food, water, a bed and a litter box. Then I slept twelve hours on the
sofa.
At the beginning happened a strange thing. Humans said that a vet is
coming to see me. I did not know what is a vet. She was a young women
and I thought that maybe this vet came to play with a pet. No way, she
was weird, wanted to look to my ears, my eyes, my mouth and suddenly she
lifted my tail and looked there, very inpolite. Then she said I was
castrated. No idea what that ment, but humans said that it is a good
thing. The vet said that I am about three years old and my tail will get
well.
Now I have Mom and Dad and I am a working cat. In the morning I wake up
humans to give me food. Then I work with my Dad. We set fire on
fireplaces and also we have to bring wood from downstairs. I always
check that there is wood enough. I also am a guard, I watch the yard and
birds from the window. Dad is feeding all the birds in the whole world.
Then I tell Dad when the beggar cats come to ask for food. I run really
fast to the window, so he knows there is a cat. My main work is, of
course, to be a lovely pet, and I am, really.
I love to bath in a warm sauna. I really enjoy the heat.We sit there all
together. And I always want to put fire on sauna stove, with Dad, he
doesn´t give me matches.
I am terribly afraid of what is behind the outdoor. Humans tried to
teach me to walk in a leash, but I was in panic. They tried many ways to
take me out with them, but it was impossible. Mom said that I have
trauma, I don´t know where it is. And humans decided not to try more,
and I am an indoor cat.
My name is Kosmo, it comes from a Russian word Kosmonavt, same as an
astronaut, but for Finns is easier to say Kosmo. My humans said that I
had to come from the space, because nobody knew me or missed me. Mom
said that one possibility is that somebody throw me out from a car, so
that I could not find my home, but I like to be from the space. My
humans think that I was sent from the Heaven to help them with their
sorrow.
So life goes on, I am happy. And I want to say that take care of your
cats, I know what is to be abandoned.

A house without a cat is not a home. I am glad you were only homeless for three weeks 😛
?
What a handsome cat, what a lovely story.
Thanks 🙂
I really enjoyed Kosmo’s story and how he got his name. Kosmo, I agree that you coming from space is much better than the alternative. Our cat monkey was abandoned but we keep telling her that those first humans knew someone else could better look after her. I am glad you have such a great home.
Glad you enjoyed the guest story. ^^
I always do. And Monkey is almost finished hers!
Looking forward to Monkey’s. 🙂

We are luckier than Kosmo, he brings so much happiness and love to our days.

Lovely cat, lovely story. My rescued girl Dolly never wanted to go outside again either. Home is warm and safe. I wanted to read more but the link does not work. Where can I find Kosmo?
Oops not sure what happened with the link! https://photofinland.wordpress.com/2016/09/03/tarkastamassa-just-checking/

Lovely to meet you Kosmo. We are soooo happy that, like the four of us, you found wonderful humans and are now safe and cosy. We wish you a long life full of joy and love . Big whiskery kisses from
Phoebe, Leo, Errol Flynn and Merlin.
🙂 thank you
lovely story. we love you Kosmo <3
So glad Kosmo found a forever home and people to give such a handsome boy a chance. Bear was homeless for the first eight months of his life and he shows no interest in going back outside – even for a short visit.
🙂
Kosmo you are such a lucky, beautiful cat.
?
Cheers for Kosmo! Everyone wins in this story.
Indeed 🙂
Great story! “Dad is feeding all the birds in the whole world,” was so funny. “Mom said that I have trauma, I don’t know where it is,” was so sad. If this was in a coffee table book with lots of pix, I’d be your first customer!
Maybe we should suggest the coffee table book to Kosmos’s parents 😉
A real cutie ?
🙂
Kosmo is adorable and smart to stay indoors where it is safe.
Yep. I’m glad our two are indoor only…
This is Kosmo, a cat in faraway Finland and I say thank you to Marc-Andre for making a post of me as a Guest Star and thank you for everybody who read my story and for everybody who wrote a comment. I have a warm feeling in my heart after reading the comments.
Thank you!
Kosmo, you devil. Trust you to show up here and to tell your story. As soon as I read he loves the sauna, I knew it was you my friend. Many peeps have read your story. You are a real live star now.
Loves,
Shoko
Hi Shoko, I must say that this was a surprise for me too. I wrote this with mom in spring, and I though that I am not interesting enough, because it was not in this blog ang I forgot it. That is why I didn’t tell you, my friend.
Kosmo,
a cat in faraway Finland.
Apologies! I’ve been running behind with my guest stories on Saturday. 🙁
Thought I had sent you an email but I must have forgotten. :X apologies. <3
It is okay, I understand that you have busy days with all the cats :-).
Thank you for understanding. <3
And if you'd like an actual guest blogger account for Kosmo I could arrange that! That way next time you do a story it won't rely that much on me to schedule it in LOL.
