I can not believe the hubs finally said yes.
I've been trying to convince him a cat would be a great addition to our family since we started dating 3 years ago. Somehow we managed to get a German Shephard 2 years ago instead of a cat. I think cats are easier but what do I know, Ive only been around lot o' cats my whole life!
Last week my sister in law Cassie got a new cute adorable kitten. So I knew it was time to bring up the whole "so in so let their wife get a cat. Loooooook how cute it is!" I tried and tried and finally something happened one day while we were texting. On Wednesday of this week I decided to just email him some kitties I was finding at shelters around here. Next thing I know I get a text from him that says "We need a boy cat. Theyre more loving" excuse me? We need? Not IF we get a cat. So to try and hide my excitment exploding out of me I said "ok :-)" followed by him saying "pick him out :-)" Are you shitting me??!! I screamed and told the lady I work with. She was happy for me because she's an animal lover like me. I didn't have much luck finding anything Wednesday. I emailed a few places but got no response. When I came into the office thursday morning I had an email waiting for me. It was sad because the kitty I had emailed about was sold :-( BUT they had 3 more of his litter mates available. SCORE. So the lovely lady I work with let me leave an hour early yesterday to head to the shelter to check out those babies. There were 4. I wanted them all. There was one I was really leaning towards because she kept climbing up the door of her cage until the guy that works there said "She's a complete nut. That cat is going to be the biggest nut when it gets older" AANNNDDD moving on. I need no more nutty animals.
When they were micro chipping him they noticed he had a lot of ,ummm, poop dried on his but. I figured once I got him home and gave him a bath hed be fine. Driving home he wanted to crawl all over me, in turn getting his nasty ass all over me and my hoody I was holding him in :-x barf :-x . He smelled. I wasn't far from the office so I stoped by to show Mary and clean off his but. Thats when I saw it. The issue. Of course there was an issue. I picked this animal out didnt I?!
**Side note: 1st Chihuahua I bought (now my parents, Rocco) super friendly but so so fat and a part of his eyeball pops out. 2nd animal I bought, Titten (now my "parents") no other word but seriously crazy. We've had a lot cats, we know crazy ones....shes it! 3rd animal. My now chihuahua Jasmine: SOOOO fat and allergic to EVERYTHING. What dog do you know thats allergic to rabies shots??!! She has cronic ear infections and asthma. 4th animal the german shepherd Dexter: Hes not very bright for a shepherd. Has possible German Shepherd disease (i say possible b/c they dont know whats wrong with him yet) and has parianal fistulas!**
Luckily theres a vet right across the street so I took kitty over there to have him looked at. While they were cleaning him up they came in and said it looks like he has a torn butthole (I'm sure they used a more proper word) SERIOUSLY? New record for me. Being at the vet with in 30 minutes of purchasing an animal. After cleaning him up and inspecting him turns out thats NOT what was wrong. He has something pretty common with kittens. His butthole pokes out, not in(that sounds so vulger, sorry!). Its just slightly infected right now so he's got medicine I have to put on it (YAY more butt problems with animals!) They said keep an eye on it but it should "poke in" as he gets a bit older(again sorry if that stirs up mental images).
First thoughts? Honestly? Im returning this little bastard. But I quickly decided against that. I picked him out for a reason. Right?
And are cats born with it already in there "systems'' to HATE water and HATE car rides? He's a quiet cat for the most part until he gets in the car. And giving him baths? Oh my goodness. He tried to slit my wrists AND amputate my pinky yesterday. NO joke
Dexter and Jasmine were doing way better with him than I thought they would. Jasmine is so pertective of him. Anytime Dexter gets to close Jasmine attacks Dexter! Shes crazy. But poor Jasmine. Dexter got in the kitties face lastnight and Jas went to bite and be mean to Dexter when the cat attacked Dexters face and he cute Jasmines tongue instead. Poor baby was bleeding pretty good. But suprisingly that did not deter her from him at all. It made Dexter scared of him now tho! They will all be BFF very soon. I can tell , or I can hope ;-)
**Update from when I started this post Friday**
The kitty finally has a name. After it being Masuka for a whole 3 hours, we tried a few diffrent ones but none of them really clicked. We settle on Sprocket yesterday afternoon :-) Seems to fit. But its always weird calling a new animal by its name for the first few days. It justs sounds weird.
Sprocket went to the vet this morning because he's been having bathroom problems and he needed his checkup from when I bought him. He has Ghiardia but is now on medicine and will be doing better soon! I love this little guy and the dogs really do to. Its precious.
SORRY for the im obssesed with my new cat post. Most people hate cats...I do NOT.
