BeaBea and DomDom

  Our very first foster couple were siblings BeaBea and DomDom.DomDom was white with a striped ginger tail and a few ginger spots dotted around his body, BeaBea was a classic calico, or is it Tortoiseshell - I'm always confused. Tricolour, anyway. DomDom was perhaps the runt of the litter – very small, shy, and sickly. In a way, DomDom was our great learning curve. For example, he taught us how the delicate ones have to be handled. Delicately, it turns out😉. Delicately, but with conviction. I don't think I'd ever actually held anyone that small and frail before in my life. So I felt a bit like a bull in a china shop, afraid I might accidentally break him or somehow make him even sicker than he already was. However, I quickly realised that he needed me to be assertive, as this would make him feel safe, so I threw aside my self-doubt and decided to go with the flow. Let him guide me, so to speak. And ultimately he probably became my confidence guru in the world of felines. T
