MRROOOOWW! ^.^

Hey, everybody! I want to post about my animals. I love animals soo much! My aspiration is to become a Registered Animal Health Technologist (RAHT), just like my mom! Most of my animals are what we call "rescues". We call them rescues because either people didn't want them or they were abandoned or the previous owners were unfit. I have 12 pets. I am starting with my kitties ^.^. I want to start with my cats because they are my favorite animal :3 My oldest cat is Jaxson. He is 25lbs and between 10 and 12 years old. When we moved into a house 8 years ago, he was there. He just hung around and lived in an old truck in my neighbours yard. He was very skinny so my mom called the SPCA but they were full. We began giving him food until the SPCA opened a spot. Mom told us if the SPCA does not have room by the time it snows we will take him in. Two months drifted by and the snow fell and the SPCA still did not have room. This is how we came to own him (or rather he owns us :P) He is the sweetest cat you will ever meet! I definitely consider him "mine". When I pick him up he hugs my neck and stares into my eyes. You can tell he is quite the ladies man haha!

The next oldest cat we have is a black and white domestic. Her name is Fiddlestix, and she is one special kitty :) She is completely blind and only has one eye.  She was born blind and was brought to the SPCA. She spent all of her kitten hood there until they brought her to the clinic to be put down (the SPCA was going to put her down because nobody was willing to take her home). My mom's coworkers were bugging her about nobody wanting this poor cat, "No one wants a blind cat, Jenn." lol So mom said "Oh fiddlesticks" and decided to bring her home. That is how she got her name. We were told that if she could not find the litter box or her food, then we would have to take her back and put her down. We let her do her own thing and about an hour later we noticed we hadn't seen her in a while. So we checked the litter box and food bowl we left for her and she was no where to be found. It turns out she was downstairs (two flights), she had used the other cats litter box and was eating his food (this was another cat we had at the time named Chip, we found Jaxson after we had Fiddlestix). A year later we noticed her eye was periodically getting weepy and she would scratch at it. The problem was that that eye was too small and her eyelid would fold in and make the eye become infected. We had the eye removed (since it was disfunctional anyways) and that solved the problem. Here she is! Aren't her whiskers great?!

The next cat I will introduce is Molly. She is a brown-grey tabby. She was brought into the clinic when she was just a kitten. A woman had found her in a snowbank. Her ears and tail were frozen! So, they looked after her and needed to find a home for her, but we didn't want to take in yet another animal (at this time we had 5). We managed to convince my grandparents to take her in. My grandpa was totally against the idea, he said "We don't need another animal". Eventually, like I said, we convinced him and she became one spoiled cat (My grandpa always spoils his animals :P) She had a very happy home, but she wasn't the most friendly cat around. About a year ago, my grandparents moved away and couldn't bring Molly with them so we took her in :) She is doing well, and by being around more animals and people (our household is much bigger) she has become much more sociable.

The last cat on the list is Ghost. She is also special, in more ways than one! First of all, she is all white with blue eyes. This combination of genes in cats, more often than not, leads to deafness (which Ghost is). She also had another owner before us. The lady who used to own her came to us because she could not stop Ghost from getting outside. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, except she lived in town and Ghost loved the warm pavement. So we took ghost in and she sometimes escaped outside but we always got her back in. Another thing about Ghost is that she is a little insane. Sometimes, she will just look off in the distance then take off chasing after something invisible! At night, she will do this for hours. Also she always thinks she is starving, yet she is fat. We give her her daily amount of food but you could swear by her behaviour we never feed her! Before bed, you have to give her a few crumbles of food or she will sit outside your door and very loudly meow for hours, or until you get up and give them to her. Our Beautiful Ghost. (sorry about the red eyes).
