Repeat from wordpress….
I have to show some pathetic cat pictures. LOL Poor kitties on there way to the Vets office.
Memow was Microchipped and Eevee got a free check up through he SPCA where we adopted her.
Eeevee in her box that I took with my iphone while peeking in a hole. She Mewed the whole way there and back. The only major thing they did to her was she had her nails clipped.
Where as Memow was very quiet like usual and he was scared out of his mind but had reason to be. They really put a huge needle in his neck to tag him. He was a trooper though and never made a peep. I love that silly cat. Poor baby but if he didn’t always try and escape when the front door opened I wouldn’t worry so. I would be lost without my baby. I have grown so very attached to him my sweet lil’ buddy.
I love Eevee too but she is so skittish. She will warm up I am sure.
When we got home Eevee ran though the house meowing. She ran up to each of us rubbed up on us to get a pet on the back. She was so grateful I think to be brought back to our house I believe. She was first given up by her first family then once adopted only to be returned. I wonder if she thought we were going to leave her. Sweet little girly I felt a spark for her in my heart.
I am slowly becoming a crazy cat lady. Well not so much since they said they had a little of kittens at the clinic that need homes and I said NO to my begging husband and son. I cannot stand the smell of too many cats. I mean I probably would have a hundred cats if they didn’t poop so STINKY! Gag! My kids handle the litter now once a week because it gets so ripe! I have been thinking about an automated cat box but they cost and I heard they break.
When we were kids we had kittens but our litter box was in the basement. We hardly smelled it since no one really went down there except to clean the box and do laundry. Mom did both. She should have made us do that but I think she didn’t mind the smell so much since she grew up on a farm. I on the other hand have a super sensitive nose and can’t deal with foul odors.
Dad told us most Native homes never allowed animals in the house since it was considered a bad thing. He said it was a bad omen or something. Whatever? I think he said that to try and keep us from having an animal. He didn’t take to well to indoor pets. Mom always wanted one pet so I guess since it was her insistence that we had pets indoors, she took the responsibility on herself the most. Oh we helped feed and water but the litter I just don’t remember doing it much. Dad wasn’t fond of pets at all. Not once did I see him warm up to a dog or cat. Too bad for him I guess. I think it was because he harbored a hurt form childhood about the dogs my Grandfather kept.
My grandfather had Sled dogs and my dad often said that his dad liked the dogs better than he liked his kids. I guess I get some of my animal love from that side. I have no clue what happened but I know it was my dads responsibility to look after the dogs. He hated a lot of things because of something that happened growing up. Like swimming because my Grandfather worshipped the water spirit they were not allowed to swim. This I was told by my dad so I have no idea why other than I do know it was blamed on one of my uncles deaths. Apparently that my uncle laughed at my grandfather in prayer once and then drowned the next week. True story.
Anyway I love pets today and swim. I am kind of an Agnostic so I do not believe my uncle died because a water spirit drowning him. What really happened was he got drunk, went in a boat on the lake, and feel off. That is science. The coincidence of that happening was great since they lived by water and boated often, oh and my uncle was an alcoholic. The Odds?? Pretty strong on drowning I think. I do foster a healthy respect for nature though thanks to my dad. I know not to approach wild animals and not to tempt fate with swimming too deep. Oh And I do not drink. Something My dad was very clear about he hated, Drunks. Another story….
Wow I went on a tangent!
So back to cats, I am glad they are healthy and safely in my home. Hope you enjoyed my weird family story.
