"If someone is in trouble, Axl cannot ignore them" is one of my favorite lines from the wiki about him. I love his arcade story so much. "An extremely dangerous vampire might be sad" and Axl Low is like "Aw he just needs a friend m8" and then he gets upset when Nagoriyuki tries to kill him. Buddy. You walked up to him and had a birds and the bees conversation and then asked him a tough question what did you expect? Axl is really just the type to go "Aw come I'm just a little guy it's my birthdaaaay" except it never works for him. Funniest and nicest man alive.
I could think of no better way to share the news than this!
So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.
Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.
Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!
Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)
He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!
I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!
Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:
