My first post on things I love. Keep an eye out for more.
My story about Sid my curious kitty is very simple. I hated cats. Never went near one, never patted one - nothing.
My parents hated cats - My dad always threatened me never to bring one home or he would do things to it that no cat should have to go through. Something involving a hummer... We had been strictly a dog family - protective, loyal. Dogs were it.
But I was out of home, in our first house. It was a tiny unit with no . We were both working and I was studying and working and I go sick - I had a whole lot of problems and I was stuck at home with no company. I was starting to go crazy.
Matt suggested to me that we look at getting a cat. I thought he was crazy. A cat - what do they do - nothing. I would have to clean it's poo. There would be hair everywhere. Nah not a cat for me.
After a lot of debate, I was inclined to go for a trip to a place that felt like ages away from our house. Longest car drive. We entered this pool shop (you read right - pool shop) and they had a cage of kittens. There were all asleep bar one. The rant. All his brothers and sisters where brown and black with strips but he was black and white. I was trying to be strong but the seller told us that his mother wasn't interested in him and that his nickname is Monster. I was sold.
It has taken me ages to work out cats. He acts more like a dog because I didn't know how to treat a cat. He comes when he is called. He snuggles. Sleeps on Matt's feet (because he know he can't on mine).
He was just what I needed. Something to take my mind away from my problems. He was there for a cuddle and a snuggle.
Today again that I am home and stuck in a neck brace he is here looking after me. Always at my side, ready for a cuddle. I now have cat everything in my house. Matt has been calling me Kitty for years but now I am becoming the cat lady. I still have a deep down love for dogs and find me a dog person. I don't like many other cats, maybe just cat pictures but most other cats are mean. I go to mush around a dog and have to pat and play.
One day I will tell him I control the red laser dot... but that won't be any time soon..
How do you feel about your pets? Do you have an attachment or a great story about them?

I have to say, with our long history. This would be one our great story's to tell years to come. Loving your posts. Your doing such a great job kitty. So proud. I hope this is a start to something that motivates you to keep that imaginative and very creative mind flowing with awesomeness. It's good to see that other people can see it too. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Matty xx
Deletewe used to both have conversations about how much we hated cats, and everything else! I enjoy reading ur blog. Keep it up :-) xx
ReplyDeleteI know, so much changes. I really only like my cat. But I find them a little cuter now. I think I can just be classed as an animal lover. Thanks for the kind words Shannah. Will try xx
