Wow, it's been quite a while! Well, I guess every now and then real life just gets in the way ;). I guess I never introduced you to my little roommates, so here it is.
First off, I admit, I'm a cat person. When I was little, there was never a place at home for a pet because of my sister's allergy. About a year ago, a friend of mine remembered that I told her about it. At that time she was still looking for a new home for a baby cat. She and her little family had moved a few months before. They didn't know that the previous house owner had left his cat, and one day this cat claimed her previous living place and soon later gave birth to four kittens. They tried to find new homes for the babies, but there was this one baby cat that was always behaving badly when someone came around to take a look. That's when my friend remembered me because she knew I would love to give this little troublemaker a new home.
So that's when Wickie came to me. And she turned out to be the most adorable cat :). Here she is:
A few weeks ago I decided to get her a little friend. No matter how much time you spend with your pet, there are just things you can't do. She tried to teach me to climb a tree, or catch a mouse, hunt rabbits, well, I miserably failed :lol:...
So I visited the local animal shelter because I wanted a cat that no one else wanted. It was kind of horrofying. I'm not talking about the animals, they were well taken care of at that place and while talking to the people around I knew they were really interested in their well-being :). That day I saw so many baby cats that people had just thrown away :(. Most of these people were not even decent enough to bring them to the animal shelter, they just left them somewhere to be found or to die. Well, this little guy was lucky because I immediately fell in love when I saw him:
And once again I managed to bring a little devil into my house :lol:... I guess that's the way a healthy baby cat is supposed to be! By the way, that's exactly the way he looks when he's about to make trouble:
The first two weeks were challenging, I guess any little being can make a lot of fuss, but Wickie and Olle (that's the name I gave the little one) also had to get used to each other. The first days Wickie even refused to enter the house because of the addition to our family, but Olle didn't give up, came close to her whenever possible and blinked which is a cat's way of smiling and saying: I'm a nice guy and won't hurt you :). After these days, the little one was accepted and today the two are best friends. I guess it won't take much longer and the two will hunt together :)
(yes, they are looking at their prey ;))
That's it for now :). Let me add that these pictures were pretty difficult to take because my camera makes noises and blinks in different colors. Try getting pictures of cats or little kids without them aiming for the camera :lol:....
Hope you have a nice weekend!
