Oh Buenchico, bless! Your post made me chuckle! They DO know how to get their back up eh! lol
I had a cat when living in France with mum, but then I was away at Uni most of the time. I came back home from Scotland on my birthday, only for me to ask where my Lily was, obviously! Mum had to tell me she had passed away, she was poisoned by someone and the vet couldn't do anything. Worst birthday ever! :O(
Anyway, I always swore I wouldn't have another cat because none could come close to my Lily, but I still missed the company...As any cat lover would understand!
So, I got a new flat in Belfast, and desperately wanted a cat. I thought of getting an older one, who'd be happy to stay indoors, as I live in a rented flat, near a busy road. Unfortunately, no refuge would let me adopt, as they didn't approve of rented places, and city center locations. I then read an ad on an online forum, and went for it. I got my wee Jess when she was 9 weeks.
I have never looked back, and when I had to go away for the week end and leave her in the care of my best friend, I didn't have any respite, I was so worried!!! lol
I came back yesterday, and whilst she made a fuss of my best friend at first, she soon came back to me, and will not now let me go ANYWHERE unsupervised! lol I can't even go to the toilets by myself! Bless, poor wee thing! :O)
You gotta love them eh! xxx
