Now that things have settled down, I figured it was time to properly introduce myself and my cats. First of all, I want to thank all of you for your kindness and help when my family was in need of advice. It was greatly appreciated and has helped. (And in case any of you are still wondering, there is a spray and neuter fair thing going on and will be likely passing through that will let my grandma fix her cat in the next few weeks/month for cheap or free)
So first up, I've had at least 10 cats in my life. Most of them I had to leave behind/give away because my parents made me when I was little due to all the moving we did, and some died sadly for various reasons that were out of my control. So I've always had cats in my life and I absolutely love them, and now that I'm an adult and living on my own, I'm able to keep my cats no matter where I happen to go.
Currently, I have my cat Ivy. I got on valentines day in 2018 and she was guessed to be around 7 months old. I adopted her from te SPCA and she chose me. I was originally looking for a male cat, an adult (since they dont get adopted as quickly as kittens do), and I didnt want a tabby cat. When I got Ivy, she was the exact opposite of what I was looking for lol. She had also only been at the SPCA for an hour before I arrived. In less than 24 hours of having her, she slept on my bed, curled up against me and became my shadow. When i went to pick her up from getting spayed, she was calm, but as soon as she heard my voice, she started going nuts trying to get out of her carrier and didn't settle down until I put my hand in there with her. Since that day, she has remained my shadow and sleeps with me every night. Shes also very affectionate and can be as demanding as a dog in that regard haha. She's nearly 2 years old now and I absolutely love her and am so glad I found her.
Cat number 2 is a 3 week old kitten. He is still with his mama but I go to see him regularly since I live nearby and he's with my grandma. Despite being so little, he has a huge personality and due to a few of his traits, I've decided to name him Tiger. When I went to see him yesterday, he actually started meowing when he heard my voice. I held him and played with him a bit which he seemed to enjoy. When I put him back in the kitten box, he started scrambling at the walls to try to get out and come after me again lol.
Unlike his siblings, he also next to never cries when taken out of the box since he loves to explore. He also attempts to do surprise attacks on his siblings who find this rather annoying. He has also decided to start hissing at my grandma apparently, while I've had him licking me. I'm so excited to see what he grows up to be like.
