Hello, Everyone!
I've been looking at this forum for a while now, since my husband and I adopted our cutie cat Jaden. She has a great story about being adopted, but it is rather long. The short version is we'd been going to PetSmart every week to look at the kitties. One week we saw a cute gray and white girl with distinct markings and christened her "Beardster" as kind of a joke. We left, but we kept thinking about her. The next week we went back and she was gone, assumed to be adopted out. But we still remembered her. Went back again the next week and low and behold she was back! We quickly arranged to adopt her and bring her to our apartment.
We named her Jaden after her beautiful green eyes.
She is about 1 1/2 years old and was very thin when we got her and also had worms. She's gained a whopping 4.5 lbs in 2 1/2 months from 5.5 lbs to 8 lbs. She's very active and playful and cute. Oh, and she totally tricked us. She had shorthair when we adopted her. I got her food for healthy skin and coat and she grew out into a long hair (actually she's more angora, with a plumey tail and tufted toes). But her coat doesn't shed, which is fabulous.
She loves to play with real fur mousies. I got her some that were fake fur, and she scoffed at them. I learned my lesson and bought her a pack of 30 real fur mousies which she tosses in the air and chases around at least twice a day. She has brought a lot of joy to our house. We dote on her endlessly, giving her the yummiest Meow Mix pouches and Purina dry food (Usually blend of Pro Plan and One). She wakes us up when she wants her breakfast by jumping off the bed and on the bed and off again. It's as if she's saying, "Follow me to the food!" And she had the sweetest apartment voice, going "mew, mew" and a lot of times she opens her mouth to meow but no sound comes out. She's not a lap cat as of yet, but she will sit next to you if you have food. She's more of a "lay on the floor until someone sees how cute I am" girl.
My name is Carolyn, my husband is Scott. He's a web designer/director and I'm a freelance graphic designer/housewife. I love to cook and bake from scratch. Lately I've been making loaves of banana bread for the holidays. I also made some cranberry orange muffins which were fabulous. Oh, and we're hopefully buying a house soon, after 2 years of renting.
Hopefully this pics will attach, they were taken right when we brought her home, so she still had short hair then.
