My babies!!!

I just feel like talking to you about my cats.. They are a big part of my life and I just wanted to share their stories with everyone..

The first cat I ever had was Clyde. Someone had found him in a trash. They took him to New Haven Pet Hospital there he was an office cat. They had to find him a nice home somewhere else. One day he pounced on a cat that had gotten hit by a car and had his jaw wired and broken legs so he was considered a risk. My mom works there so she brought him home. I fell in love with this cat so I took him with me. He looked like Garfield the only difference was he was gray.

One day I brought a cat that was no bigger than the palm of my hand. He was orange and white with short fir. My aunt and uncle have five pit bulls and one after noon she went to let them out she noticed this little guy in the corner of the dog cage. They were going to keep him in there shed because the dogs would eat it. I wanted him to have a better life. Clyde was very upset he would not come near us when this little guy was getting attention he was too good to be around him. We finally named this little guy Porkchop!!

One day I woke up and could not find Porkchop. I just thought he was hiding for some reason. Eventually (2 hours later) I heard him crying from behind the dresser. When I got him out I could tell there was something really wrong with him but had no clue what. He was being vicious trying to attack me!!! I finally got him out from behind there, but he looked disoriented like he had no idea where he was. He attacked the closest door which seemed odd but I laughed because I thought he was being a typical kitten. I wanted to be sure I didn’t lose him again so I kept him in eye sight. I took him to the kitchen with me I sat him on the table for just a second. All of a sudden, like you were watching a cartoon, he walked off the edge for a split second was in the air and BOOM he hit the floor. That’s when I realize why he attacked me before. He had no clue who I was he was blind and thought I was attacking him so he protected himself.

I had no idea what to do because he was fine just the night before. I rushed him to the vet. The vet said it and to do with his liver. I had to go buy him special food with no protein. The food that he needed would stunt his growth and I was to feed this to him for the rest of his life. It was only like two weeks later and he was getting better. I only fed him that for two weeks because he got better. He is just fine now. It was only temporary but it was supposed to be his whole life.

Three months after having Porkchop, Clyde got really sick with a disease called autoimmune. There was nothing that would cure it. There was a chance he could live the down side was he would have to be given daily shots and meds. I did everything I could but it just wasn’t enough he died at the age of 6.

I have gotten two more cats because they didn’t have a home. We named them Bacon and Mufasa. There was something wrong with Mufasa. After having them for a while I realized he could not use his back legs properly. I had grown attached to him because he required so much more attention. I thought that maybe he was in pain which broke my heart because if he was he would be better off being put down. I was so nervous when I took him in to the vet. It was good that I didn’t have to put him down. He just has Cerebellar Hypoplasia which they said was similar to having a child with Cerebral palsy. As long as I was willing to take care of a disabled cat I didn’t have to put him down. I thought that it would be unethical to put him down because he was disabled. He does take up a lot of my time, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Bacon does not like people. He hates when we pet him, but we are trying to get him to come around. It seems to be working a little bit because he will sit near us but not close enough to let you pet him. He likes interacting with the other cats and that is something i guess. As long as he is not mean we don’t mind having him around, if he were hateful I don't think we could keep him.

My cats are a lot of work but I love them all the same.

Getting to know me..

This is my first blog ever!!! So I am not sure what is too much info or if its boring for you to read.. If it’s too boring let me know I hate reading boring things and I would not expect others to read boring crap that I had to say.
If I ever get to know anyone in this class or at this school when and if you hang with me what you see is what you get I will not kiss butt to get you to like me.. I put up with nobodies crap. I live my life you live yours and do not tell me how I
should live mine.. But I am a fun person, I do like to hangout with my friends and be crazy!!!
I love hanging with my friends they are amazing people.. to me anyways.. My Friends and I are very close we are bluntly honest with each other and I like it like that because we would never lie to each other and we do not keep anything from each other, nothing will bottle up and explode later. We get our comments out in the moment and go on with our fun. I can’t be that honest with just anyone. with most people I sugar coat things especially if I don’t know you that well.
I have learned through things that have happened to me in the last year never take life for granted and live it to the fullest. When there is something you want to do or say do not hold off on saying them or doing them. You may not be able to tomorrow nothing is certain except uncertainty and then you have to live with the ‘what ifs’ or it will be you the one who is gone. Life is too short to have regrets or dwell on the past. Think about the moment you are in and nothing else don’t plan your life ahead of time you don’t know what you where you will be tomorrow or even next week. And one thing that I am working on myself is don’t sweat the small stuff!! It’s the small things that matter to girls I know but when you learn not to let them get to you it easier because you wont be as temperamental. If its something small that makes you made don’t be mean about it just calmly talk it out. When you’re on the same page they won’t keep doing that thing that upsets you.
My pet peeves, I am not putting these on here to scare people away just if you have these tendencies then I would rather not talk to you..
People who think they are better than everyone else no body is better than anyone..
When people pretend to dumber than a box of rocks.. Nobody is that dumb..
People who do not have a lick of common sense or at least pretend they don’t..
And the biggest one is LIARS!!!!! Do not lie about something just because it will make you look stupid everyone does stupid things and you won’t have to keep covering up lies with lies. You do not have to think as much if you tell the truth because there is no lie to cover up and you do not have to remember who you told which lie to. You do not have to lie to make yourself look cool if someone does not like you for who you are it is their loss not yours. Do not try to impress someone by being someone you are not you will be miserable!!
