An amazing story! Definitely a keeper.
A must read. A good page turner.
A enjoyable read. An average book.
A book that has flaws and is hard to finish.
Terrible and couldn't finish it.
I would like to thank Felicity Heaton for being on the blog today and sharing with us for this great cause.
I’m a one cat sort of woman (although the intention
had been to have two cats, but don’t tell her that) with a very special kitty
in my life. She’s ginger, rambunctious, playful and sometimes cuddly. My
current love, codenamed Koyo, has been with me for six years this month and I
have enjoyed every minute of our up and down relationship.
All pet owners think their fur-baby is super special
and I’m no different. She’s a very special cat because she has such a
personality, and I think it stems from the fact that she was an only kitten,
born to my late aunt’s ginger female at a very young age (hussy). We had hoped
she would have two or more kittens because, well, cats have an average litter
of two or more! But no, Koyo came out as the sole kitten, and while her mother
did a semi-admirable job of raising her, by the time my darling baby was only
seven weeks old, the hussy was off flaunting herself at toms again.
It was left to me to wean Koyo onto solid food. No
easy task! I remember how excited I was the day I found her eating her first
bowl of wet food. I took a picture and texted it to my family.
She developed an incredible personality that I like to
put down to her being an only kitten. She never learned the right way to play
or correct social etiquette, so she’s always been one for taking things too
far. I have the scars to prove it. She’s fiery and can unleash her
fastest-claws-in-the-west routine on your feet if you don’t do what she wants
when she wants it. That covers everything from playing or letting her out, to
her becoming my alarm clock to get me out of the damn bed to feed her first
thing in the morning. The joys of being awoken by a cheeky paw under the
covers!
She’s not all fire and spit though. She’s a wimp when
it comes to other cats, more often than not turning to me or my husband to
assist with removal of other cats from her territory. She’s scared of strangers
and will hide behind the bed whenever the plumber comes around or my family
comes over. She views myself and my husband as her pride, and trembles with
emotion when we return from a long holiday. I’ve never had a cat shake with
emotion before, and it’s really quite endearing. If she gets frightened, she’ll
curl up close to me and cuddle until whatever has frightened her is gone. That
can be pretty much anything... we had our external walls insulated once and I
had to spend half a day with a cat squashed onto my lap in a tight ball. It
wasn’t easy to work!
Koyo is a character, and I think that shows in her
nicknames. She’s been called everything from Ginger Ninja and Monkey, to Beast,
through to Pudding Pop and other cuter names. She gets called Monkey and Beast
so much that she responds to them now.
She’s my office buddy during the day. She’s actually
sleeping behind me on the padded seat as I type. She knows when I’m about to
tear my hair out with stress and comes to see me, settling on my lap for a
while or convincing me to step away from my desk to play with her. She follows
me around the garden when I’m working out there. And she’s always more than
happy to sleep on either myself or my husband, doing that amazing balancing
tricks cats do so they can sleep on your side and effectively stop you from
being able to move.
You can probably see now why I honestly believe that
to Koyo, me and my husband are her pride. We’re a family unit and we all help
each other out, cuddle together and play together. She’s crazy at times, but
she’s wonderful and I wouldn’t swap her for any placid pet in the world. She’s
my fur-baby and I think everyone should have a fur-baby in their life, and take
care of it, and love it, like I love her.
