My
mom says that I followed her home in her arms.
It catches people off guard then they laugh.
What really happened was...
She was going for one of her daily walks in the
graveyard and
I pranced right up to her and talked for a bit and
gradually I would
walk with her. Sometimes her walks would be in the
morning in
the dark. I would scamper around and run to meet up
with her as
she returned to the entrance then follow her home.
If I missed walking with her I'd
be waiting at her house.
She fed me and put water out for me and when she went
into the
house I would lay at the door then one day...
I found myself in a box and to a place where there were
other
kitties and dogs. I was to get my combo test
(Felv & Feline Aids)
and get neutered.
From there she brought me HOME
around 1:00. I was INSIDE!
I didn't really feel too well
because of the anesthesia. I was
very groggy
and
unbalanced and I spit at her anytime she touched me.
She kept
me upstairs with my
own food, water and litter.
The others were kept
downstairs. I slept under the chair in
the
bedroom and she slept on the floor with
me.
The next day I felt much better but still stayed
under the chair so
she just layed on the
floor and petted me a bit. By
now I was singing
and rolling on my
back. She had the other kitties come up bit by
bit
and thought it might go well as
I stood my ground with
a growl and they'd
skitter off.
The
other kitties would get me surrounded but I
persevered. I would
wiggle my butt and pounce
at kitty. She just looked at me like
I was crazy.
Bonnie's been a little prissy about
the whole thing, whining and
complaining. Peter wasn't
crazy about another male in the house
and let me
know by growling and spitting and Obsidian talks,
talks, talks, telling all about the
new-comer.
I
am a clean cat as I constantly wash.
I was staying upstairs most of
the time
and would be plunked in the upstairs litter box and
I learned quickly how to use it so she then plunked me
into another
one she had downstairs and eventually removed the one upstairs.
The others had a bit of a time allowing
me to use it but all worked out well.
Now, I have full run of
the house. I want so much to play with the
other kitties so I chase
them and jump at them but I think they're
just too mature
for that sort of behavior. They just spit and growl
at me so I find other
things to try and keep me occupied like
chasing my tail and
sliding on the kitchen floor into the cupboards.
I think things will work
out just fine here. I'm still trying to get use
to being picked up and
molested by my new mom but for now
I'll pretend I don't
like it and continue to growl and spit.
