Hello everyone.
I'm a new cat guy, I was never a cat person until recently.
I didn't realize I was a cat guy until the day came when I was having a conversation with myself, over scratching a cats butt.
Which cats really like. And you know you have to really like an animal if you're going to scratch their butts.
Well, I guess it would be lower back.
Not even knowing, I was just doing it and all of a sudden it hit me. Dude! You're scratching a cats butt!!
I thought, ah crap... I'm a cat person.
It all started when my girlfriend asked me if we can get a cat.
She was raised on a farm or near a farm like state of being. When she was 12 she was riding horses in competition. So she likes animals.
I had always said, No. We most certainly can not have a cat.
But then a good friend of mine who is another cat guy, had a cat who had kittens. My girlfriend wanted to visit him and see the kittens.
Because he called us and made sure we both knew he had kittens.
He's cruel that way.
So we went to see him and his happy little family of kittens.
I was all mad about the whole thing until I was walking around looking for kittens and almost stepped on one. I kept thinking, I can not maintain guy-dom if my girlfriend gets a cat. Guy-dom is important to keep a dudes dude-ism. If you didn't know.
Anyway, I notice this kitten at the last second and redirect my foot from crushing it and my foot hit some loose newspaper when it came down. Which caused me to slip.
I went about 3 feet in the air and landed with a thud, on my back.
Which really hurt and took the breath out of me. So I was immobile for a little while. While I was lying there, this 8 week old orange tabby kitten that I almost crushed decided to crawl up onto my face.
I couldn't talk because I was worried he would, naturally think of my face as a litter box. So I was like mumbling for help when the little guy licked my nose.
I don't know if it's because I was cross eyed at the time or simply because he was licking my nose. But I thought that was the cutest darn thing.
I don't normally use the word "cute".
It was at that time that my girlfriend found me.
And she said, Awwww! That's so cute!
Anyway-
-That kitten turned out to be the one year old tabby named Peaches, that's sitting next to me as I type this. He's a guy but my girlfriend insisted on naming him, Peaches.
We couldn't let Peaches be alone, so we took his sister. Who is mostly black with spots of orange here and there. She was named Pink.
By my girlfriend.
So we have Pink and Peach, who grew on me with their sneaky cat ways.
Their playful habits of string and bread twisty ties.
And that funky invisible thing they can never catch.
Just kind of got to me.
After a while I was sitting there, scratching Pinks butt and having that conversation I told you about. When Peach wouldn't shut up about something outside our window.
Talking cats. I know!
Like I said, he grew on me. So he's chatting away at the window and I'm thinking there must be a T-Bone steak or something on the front porch.
Not knowing that it's a cat I'm listening too and for all I know it's a dead rat.
So I take a peek outside the window and there's this long haired gray tabby (female) outside our window.
I tell Peach, look dude, we had you fixed a few months ago. So you can cry all you want, it aint gonna do you no good.
But he wouldn't listen and the vet did say that it might take him a little while to realize he's a eunuch.
Besides that. I'm human and he really had no idea what I was saying.
So I go and get the little vixen a can of cat food. Which she gobbles down in 30 seconds flat. She smelled funny and had these big scar like bumps on her back. That were all scabbed up. My first thought was, that's like a nasty zombie cat. Peaches just wanted to take out the evil undead cat on our porch.
So I'm all man proud of Peaches for stepping up and wanting to take out his first zombie cat and my girlfriend comes along and ruins the whole thing.
She was like, Awwww, it's a poor hurt stray cat.
I was like, are ya sure? Looks like a zombie.
She was like, That's no zombie silly! It's a stray that needs our help!!
And then she flew to the kitchen like super women to get another can of cat food and some cat milk, before I could say anything.
So I'm yelling to her, You better think about this before it rips out your jugular!
But that did no good. Before I knew it we had another cat in the house.
We didn't have to think of a name. The new cat was named Fluffy the minute it stepped foot on our porch. It's a two fold name.
One because Fluffy is kind of creepy and the other is because she had lots of hair.
So we took Fluffy to the vet and the vet said she was mistreated and the scabs on her back would have to heal by themselves because she was pregnant.
I was like, pregnant?
And the doc was like, yup!
Which answered why she was a stray.
So we kept Fluffy and two months later she crawled into our dresser and had her kittens. Which I took pictures of.
At first I thought I could handle watching a cat give birth.
I'm an old man, kind of. 39. That's kind of old. I've seen some stuff.
But when Fluffy popped out that first kitten it was the grossest thing I'd ever seen. The little guy popped out, Fluffy dragged it to her face and then she ate the after birth. Gross right?
Well, I was about to go but my girlfriend was all into it and I couldn't let her show me up. If she could witness something that gross I had to.
Man up!
2 hours later and 4 more kittens and I was really wishing I hadn't had Taco Bell for lunch.
Poor Fluffy was crying something horrible everytime a new kitten popped out.
When it was all said and done, I looked to Fluffy and asked her if she was alright. She looked at me with the cutest doey eyed face ever and just meowed.
That was 2 weeks ago and I've been taking pictures of the kittens growth ever since then. Little guys are walking around now and playing teet tag with mommy. Only way to describe it is cute.
That's me.
Cat guy.
Nice to meet you!
