  Maktoob alias Maki…..the day I rescued him

“Almost
Eaten by the dogs
he climbed a tree to safety
his siblings were not as lucky
Maktoob”

The word maktoob means:
“destined” or “already written” in Arabic

    he looks quite securely content now! my, how strong he has become, such presence! he & you both are very lucky & (obviously) destined to be together🤗🙏🏼❤️🌳🥳

    • Yes, was a total destiny match from first sight. He is the youngest of 3 cats in my house…he came years later, but he is the leader. So interesting to watch that develop…intelligence and leadership and with me, still reverts to being a kneady little baby:) Maktoob! 🤗👑❤️

    What a lordly fellow, and a great picture. 🙂

  5. I just read your chapter 1 of Maktoob, and his eyes seem to say “life is good.” I wonder if the one who discarded the sack, was eventually thrown over the ‘wall of life,’ and met the ‘pitbulls of hate…?’ or an Angel…!
    🇯🇲🏖️

    • Hopefully that karma was delivered 10 fold!!! Who would do that? I agree with you and hopefully someday he will face that “pitbulls of hate” squad and
      justice will be done! Thank you for this comment.

    • Awww thank you for this comment.. Yes if you read the first post, Maki had a rough start, but so happy to say he is thriving!! I went from having my doubts I could handle another cat to not being able to imagine life without him.. Shine on dear poet!!
