Lucky

We adopted Lucky almost in the middle of Covid 19 pandemic back in 2020.

He was 1 year old and had spent his whole life in a cage at the animal shelter.
We wanted another cat to keep company to our existing cat and I wanted an orange girl cat. But I fell in love with a boy white and gray cat.
He was so beautiful and I cried when we were told that all his brothers and sisters got adopted but he was still there.
By the way his shelter name was Paprika.
We took him home and changed his name to Lucky. At that time I lost my job and was actively looking for a new one and I strongly believed that he will bring me luck. Therefore name Lucky.
And I was right. A few weeks later I started negotiating with a new employer and got the job.
So he is my Lucky cat. He turned 2 years old in February. Aquarius, free spirit. I feel connected to him, even though he acts a little bit strange sometimes I know he is much happier now and I am as well.
The only one not really happy is our first cat Benjamin.
