Animals play a big part in my family. There is not a moment in time when we did not have a family pet or even strays included in our family. Pets play a big role in my live. They are my best friend, my confidant and my love. Every time I see a cat or a dog on the streets or in the park, I would slow down and watch them play, not in a stalkerish manner. :)
I am always a big advocate of adopting animals from the pound or rescues. I think we have always either adopted dogs or cats from someone or bring home strays. We have only bought 2 dogs from the pet shop, but more on that later.
Today, we are focusing on adopting kitties. I love cats! Growing up we had a few cats living with us. The earliest memories of us having a cat was Snowy. She was a gorgeous White kitty with blue eyes and a very very long tail. I am not sure where she came from to be honest. It might just be one of strays that I picked up on the way home from school or something. HAHA... I have to say mum was not impressed with me that day.
Whiskas (the guys that makes yummy cat foods) are supporting the guys from Pet Rescue this Chirstmas to help with kitten adoptions with their Get a Kitten drive. I mean how can you resist that cute face! They are soft, fluffy and quite often FUNNY! Like any child in the animal kingdom, they are a lot of work BUT it pays off.
I remember adopting Toby (I still miss her by the way) as a kitten and she was the most fluffiest thing EVER. She followed me around the first few days and after that, she came out of her shell and became very independent. She was a smart Kitty as well. All I did was showed her where everything is and she knew what to do. During her first few years with me, she was very very active. I would never see her at home during the day and at night she would come in and have a snuggle with me in bed. When we moved into an apartment, she adjusted to becoming an indoor cat quite well. I remember she loved sitting by the window just watching the day goes by. I would find her in her favourite spot everyday just looking down on every thing. Giving her up for adoption when we had the Lil’ Tiger was the hardest thing I had to do in my entire life. I had her for 9 years, even before I met M and she was the bestest friend I had. She was with me through my break ups and when I met M.
So this Christmas, if you have a little room in your home and in your heart, Get a Kitten and give them a home. There are so many out there that is being put to sleep. Despite what others may say, cats are really really really easy to care for. They do not need as much attention as dogs would and sometimes would prefer minimal contact with humans at all BUT the love and the snuggles that you get in return are priceless.
Go on, Get a Kitten and give them a home this Christmas.
