| A couple of days after Chaussettes arrived to live with us .. 7 years later she still has the rubber duck! |
We
moved to Delaware in 2011. One week after we arrived, we got home
from the Farmer's Market with this tiny 1lb tuxedo kitten with 4
white paws. I don't know who was more surprised, Geordie or us.
Chaussettes was found in a barn with her two much bigger brothers,
their father was clearly a Maine Coon cat. She was food deprived but
fiesty. She's made up for it since and now weighs nearly 17 lbs. We
spent a lot of time at the vet with her at first, she was very ill.
She has feline herpes, a upper respiratory disease, and she has to
take L-Lysine for the rest of her life. She's always been afraid of
going outside, I think it's because her sense of smell isn't good and
she knows she is at a disadvantage.
She's
not a lap cat, she cuddles up to me after dinner but just with her
head on my lap.Lee has togive her an ear rub every day. He is without
a doubt the world's best ear massager. She sleeps with us. And that's
it. She doesn't like being held, picked up or fussed over unless she
wants a love. She is her own playful personality and quite a character in a
quieter way than Geordie. We love our special needs cat no matter
what. And she is a good traveller, when we start the engine she hops
on the bed, gets under the pillow and reappears when we stop!
