Playful Kitty
A lot of people planning on buing or adopting a cat, are forgetting several important facts. Hair, claws, and litterbox. These are the things to keep in mind at all times, as a cats have been known to sharpen their claws on couches and archairs, and if their litter box is not clean, you might have some nasty presents around the house.
I knew all of the above, but still decided to get one. I took it upon myself to take care of a small, Birmanese kitten. It was cute, soft, warm, and cuddly, and my girlfriend loved playing with it. It got used to us in a couple of days, and soon, nothing in the apartment was safe from its curious little paws.
By nothing I absolutely mean nothing. That cat cat had absolutely scratched up my cds. All my CDs were scratched, and my couch was beggining to show signs of wear from the constant clawing. My little kitty always had to have its bowl filled with food or else it would get up on the kitchen table and try to eat what it could find. Milk with kitty hair in it just isn’t good, trust me.
Unfortunately, another item that fell to its claws was my iriver clix 2gb. I really loved that thing and considered it to be one of the best things I’d bought. Even though my girlfriend found it funny how I found it chewed up in a corner, I was determined to give the kitty away. Until she bought me a new player and I wasn’t mad anymore.
I’ve started keeping all my important things inside a locked desk, and consider anything left outside scratch-resistant. So does my kitty, probably, because It really puts it to the test. Having full reign of the house, my kitty now thinks its more important than me. My girlfriend seems to think so too!
