Vallio

I have had cats since I was a teenager. I have generally picked kittens over the years, but 10 years ago decided to adopt rescue cats. Vallio was our first rescue cat. Vallio was over a year old and seemed to take to my husband immediately. As soon as we had him home, he hid under the bed and anywhere else he could go to avoid human contact. I had never witnessed a cat so tramatized by humans as to hide like this. We spent the next year gradually getting to know Vallio. Vallio came to trust us, but he could never get past the fear of being picked up. If I picked him up he would start to shake. If my husband picked him up, he would wrap himself on his arm or shoulder for dear life. Who would do this to such a gentle sweet cat?? As the years went by, Vallio knew he had the best home possible and always purred loud enough to be heard in the next room. He was the sweetest gentle cat. You could talk to him and you just knew he understood. If you weren't feeling well, he would stay close by. He always knew what you needed. He left this earth too soon. I believe God has a special place in heaven for our pets. He gave them as comfort to us and I think Vallio is in heaven lying in the sun warming himself. The final verse in Psalms says "Let all things that have breath praise the Lord". That is why I know God gave our Vallio a special place in heaven after blessing us with his presence for a few years.
