Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay ... where to start ...

My sister was at a party, and she saw a kitten. She asked her friend about it, and apparently the owners cats have kittens all the time. The owners tend to let the kittens fend for themselves, and every time, all of the kittens die.

My sister was heartbroken to see a doomed kitten right in front of her eyes. All teenagers have cellphones, so she pulled hers out and called my mom.

Now let's get something out of the way: My mom's a sucker. You can persuade her to get any animal if you're persistent and drop a reference here and there every 3 days for a few months.

My sister had been doing this for months.

So she found an opportunity to take advantage of this.

HERE is quote on quote part of the conversation on the phone.

AMANDA: "C'mon mom he's going to die!"

MOM: "We can't have another animal in the house, I'm allergic."

AMANDA: "Mom, please?"

MOM: "No!"

AMANDA: "Please mom?"

MOM: "No!"

AMANDA: "Please?"

MOM: "Alright, When are you coming home?"

Seriously she is that much of a sucker. So the kitten comes home. We make plans for him to go to Guelph with Amanda, however animals are prohibited on school campus. My sister says as long as nobody says anything, she can have to cat with her in Guelph. My mom says that if Amanda gets caught with the cat and it has to come home, the cat is being let go.

Of course my mom would never do that.

The problem was is that one of the people my sister rented a townhouse with is a Prefect or some other nonsense. So after a few e-mails the cat is staying with us while my sister is in university.

Mr. Kitty (Actual name is Pepper) was raised by his mom in a barn, so he's the hunter kind of cat. Extremely friendly though

HOLD ON KEEP READING THIS IS THE BEST PART

Mr. Kitty is about 20 weeks old, and as I said, is the hunter type of cat. Still loveable, but has all the instincts of a cat who was taught from a cool mom.

I haven't seen a fly or spider in weeks.

The reason?

Mr. Kitty catches and eats them.

I'm not joking. The cat eats flies and spiders. I guess THAT'S how it got worms during it's 12 weeks in the barn.

Mr. Kitty has got to be the stealthiest thing I've ever seen. We never knew where the bloody cat was in the house, so we put a collar on the bugger. It jingles whenever he moves, but man, can that thing hide. Whenever you see the cat hiding in the house it's a total suprise. And all the time he's watching you... it's almost like now "The hills have eyes."

Now on the one of the biggest problems: We have a food chain.

Dog ----> Mr. Kitty -----> A ******** cockatiel

This has got to be one of the riskiest descisions my mom has ever made. We have a cat that literally stalks the birds every move. The bird is scared shitless, but half the time, it's scared shitless even when the cat isn't there. The problem is: THE BIRD DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE CAT IS. So it's scared ALL OF THE TIME. I swear this cat could pass for a ninja. The cat hasn't made a move yet, but that bird's days are numbered.

Now the dog. This one isn't as much of an issue, being that Sebastian has such a one track mind and is just plain stupid. Whenever the dog is brought in, the cat just plain dissapears. I'm not kidding. They've met a couple of times and boy was it hilarious.

My dog is a newfie, so he's huge. He's is just the friendlest giant you'll ever see though. He is the biggest klutz though. And he just loves other animals, in fact, he is very possesive of them. He thinks my guinea pig is HIS. So naturally, he's going to think that the cat is his.

How wrong could he be?

The first meeting they had, the cat beat the s**t out of the dog in 5 quick seconds. The dog moves in to sniff the cat, and BAM! The cat just delivered a flurry of the most awesome moves I've ever seen a cat do. The bloody thing flipped all over the place. The cat gave the dog a gory nose before we could restrain either of them. None of us expected such a spectacular show of dominance in the very first meeting. We expected a bark and a couple of hisses, but nothing like that. Friggen ninja.

That cat knows how to survive.

Now my dog doesn't listen to anybody. He does whatever he wants to. He is pretty much the alpha male of the house. So when he got a bloody nose, imagine his suprise when the cat kicked his a**. That cat is the only living being on this earth so far to so flawlessly be able to control that dog. I'm not kidding. That dog was SUBMISSIVE after that. He had his head tucked down and his tail between his legs. He never bothered the cat again. And the cat loves to drink out of the dog's water dish and not his. I think that's just another middle finger to the dog. Like the cat is saying "I'm in control now, so deal with kitten-saliva-water now."

He loves to play as well. My mom bought him the usual cat toys, but what he loves are the things that are literally free. He goes apeshit over pens. Not joking, he will play with that all day.
He loves tin foil balls. Seriously, give him anything and he will entertain himself for hours.

Anyway those are my kitty stories. Such a joy to be with. I think these hunter cats are way more fun than the house cats though. And way more useful. Eating spiders and flies for us. I guess we don't need any more Cluster Busters xd .

My kitty... acts like a hunter. She's scary. ;__;

But she was brought up by people, so I dunno, she's just nuts.

Anyway, awesome you have a cat. Cats are the best.

My dad's work is next door to an animal shelter and he used to always bring animals home.
My mom eventually called the place and told them not to let my dad bring home any more animals
So now he just goes there on his lunch break to help walk the dogs. xD
