After separating from a litter of adorable kittens, Deborah made the acquaintance of Speed Bump in his foster home in Chicago, USA. The young kitty was only a week old, and took a while to go through the stages of her development. It must be said that his name suited him perfectly (Speed Bump means speed bump in French) !
As explained Cola & Marmalade, the kitten had found herself alone following the death of her sister in a shelter in Indiana. Yet she continued to show an astonishing joie de vivre. In the eyes of Deborahshe was the ideal roommate: “ I picked up a new baby today, and I’m not exaggerating when I say she’s absolutely perfect. “, she said on Instagram.
A lover of stuffed animals
Speed Bump dreamed of forging a bond with one of her peers, but she was not yet ready to do so when she arrived. She was therefore quick to find comfort in the stuffed toys offered to her by her benefactress. It’s simple: during his stay with Deborahshe never left them again!
The kitten had just discovered the best allies to break with loneliness! Ever since she received a ghost-shaped toy on Halloween, she’s been the happiest feline. However, she clearly had a preference for the mouse-like one. Hunt the natural, it comes back at a gallop!
Deborah has never taken in a kitten who showed such a penchant for stuffed animals. They have been so successful with Speed Bump that the latter never parted with it. Every day, the big-hearted woman found her more and more cute.
Good things come to those who wait for
Speed Bump then reached the age of one month. During this period, his eccentric personality became more and more assertive. She took longer to walk properly or to follow her foster mother’s voice than her peers, but Deborah didn’t worry. She is aware that each kitten develops at its own pace, just like children do.
In addition, the feline grew up “alone”, without another cat to guide her steps. So can we really blame him? For his benefactress, it is impossible. Speed Bump is irreproachable in his eyes!
The encounter of a lifetime
A few days later, the kitten met Room, a little ball of fur saved from a snowstorm. Between the 2 tomcats, the agreement was immediate. They never separated again during their roommate at Deborah. As their adoptions approached, their farewells promised to be difficult…
