Do you think love can be found at first sight? Does the animal kingdom genuinely have it? If you are a thoughtful person, we believe the response to this question will be a loud no. We’d like to share the tale of two cats with you in order to demonstrate the reality of “love at first sight” and the depth of their bond.
Meet orange and white prince Scottie and Sophie, a sweet princess with fluffy black and white fur. Scottie fell in love with Sophie at first sight when he saw her strolling with her human. However, Scottie’s shyness kept him admiring her from afar.
He had the confidence one day to approach the girl he admired. It turns out that the black and white cat lives next door to her humans. She was rescued like Scottie and is now living a contented life.
“In the very beginning when Scottie saw us outside he would run over but keep his distance,” Sophie’s mom, Christiana, recalled. “After a few times though he just decided to come over and join in following whatever she was doing.”
“Our backyards meet so we can easily see when each other are outside,” Christiana said. “In the morning the first thing I do is open the door for Sophie to be able to see into the backyard… many mornings [Scottie is] outside and they watch each other from [their] yards.”
Scottie is so smitten with Sophie, he even comes calling for his girlfriend at their front door. “If I go out on the balcony and he sees me he runs over to the driveway, cries up at me, then runs and sits at our back door for me to bring [Sophie] out,” Christiana said.
