I find it fascinating that they have different personalities, just like you and me. Also how different up bringing can make them who they are. Take my cats for example, they are hugely different
Tabatha is highly strung and jasper is very laid back. Tabatha is a stress head because she was abused when she was a kitten (not by me) which has made her the way she is. I have told you this in my first blog but thought might actually get through to people NOT to abuse animals! Spread the word, i think its a good word, worth spreading but i love animals, you have your own opinion When i got her she was a right mess. Bits of fur missing, thin, horrible coat to feel and see and had loads of cuts all over her. But she was beautiful and i loved her. Shes the black and white cat. Told you, beautiful right? She has schizophrenia and she self harms all because the people that had her before me has treated her like shit! I have to keep an eye on her grooming because she over grooms and starts biting her arms and makes her self bleed so i have to keep nudging, poking and stroking her. Im sure i get on her nerves doing that but it is for her own good. However she did pull her fur out on her stomach and I've trying to stop her for about 9yrs now and finally she is getting her fur back slowly! Im so proud of my self and of her for stopping slightly. She still does it but not as much and now shes got a bit of fluff showing :) She also runs of theres any weird movement, like i could be turning over and land a little louder than usual and shes out that room so fast. Also if shes at the top of the stairs you know to wear slippers because shes going to be attacking your feet soon, i actually like that because its kinda like playing with me i think. She even grunts when shes got her mouth round you its so funny to hear. Also we will be playing with a bracelet i made her and she will catch me, i say OW and shes off like a shot! Im thinking that maybe her previous owners would hit her if she hurt them slightly, so now i just kinda wince and she doesn't actually notice that shes hurt me a bit and carries on enjoying her self. Another point i have is that animals are sensitive to our emotions = AMAZING!!
I think shes finally coming round to the idea that i will not hurt her and really loving me. Like the other week i had a really bad day with my crohns, because i never really left my room and my mom was really looking after me and she never left my side apart from to eat a little and go out for the bathroom. And i mean never left my side! Even when i went to the toilet! Haha! And when my pain is bad i bring my knees up to my chest and she knows that I'm in a lot of pain because she looks at me and keeps meowing until i say 'I'm ok' and she will head butt me so ill stroke her.
Even Jasper doesn't Leave my side when I'm having a bad day either
Now Jasper I've had him since he was 6 weeks old. Had to get him early because his mom wasn't eating and his dad was trying to kill him. Jasper is the ginger cat and thats his usual position, he's either outside or next to me. Now since i have had him for such a young age he's known nothing but love and it shows. He hasn't got a mean bone in his body. The 1st time he scratched me was when he was playing with a cotton bracelet i made and he got over excited. I had to take a picture just as proof. And every time he is in my room he is always bang next to me, also when i move and not touching him he opens his eyes, looks at me then stretches his arm out just so he's got a paw on me. I think its cute to be honest, can get a bit annoying though but just means that he loves me and likes to be close.
The cutest thing is that he loves Kevin my tortoise, when i take Kevin outside Jasper is never far behind. Once i had him outside and he had a poo and walked through it (Kevin does that a lot! Lol) so i tipped him on his back quickly to get him clean underneath and Jasper did not like that at all, he was looking at me and didn't stop meowing till i put him down. Thought it was well cute. I cant really say much else about Jasper, hes just a lovely loving cat. Tabatha is the funny one because shes so crazy and im saying that in the nicest possible way. She makes me chuckle. For example; shes started watching TV a lot more, check out the picture, she was watching Tangled for 20minutes. I was so glad my mom was in the room with me because no one would believe me that she sits and watches tv for 20mins at a time. She is getting to be a right telly addict. She actually moves her head to watch where everyone is and where they move to. I told ya, total nutter! Haha but i love her! :)
I love all of my pets.
I think thats it for now but i got loads of more stories about my animals that will save for another entry.
Much love xx
