Need help with Q & A with foster kitty

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Okay guys, I'm a writer/editor by profession, but these days most of my articles are news/feature stories. It's been a while since I've done any creative writing. That's why I need help! The rescue wants to run an "interview" with my FIV+ foster kitty, Bridge in the next newsletter. Great idea, but the newsletter is already late going to press, so I need to get this written in the next couple of days.

So, I'm open to any suggestions on what to ask Bridge and how he'd respond, though that might be a little difficult since you guys don't know him like I do. Also have an email into one of the volunteers from the rescue who knows Bridge pretty well. The purpose of this is to hightlight him for adoption and hopefully educate folks about FIV in a cute way.

Just off the top of my head, I'd ask him how he thinks he got FIV, whether it affects him in any way healthwise or socially, i.e., living with other kitties, what he'd recommend people do to prevent other cats from getting FIV...

BTW, there's a new Dewey book, Dewey's Nine Lives, with a chapter ("Spooky") about an FIV+ cat who lived to be almost 22; his FIV+ friend lived to about 18.

Good luck with the article!

what is your dream date? I am not very creative but along those lines, maybe you could ask him to describe his perfect day? that's all I got

In addition to the above... (LOVE the perfect day question!)

How would you describe yourself? (I keep hearing Chumley saying "I'm an adorable little kitty" )
Are you a lap cat?
Do you prefer to be brushed or petted?
What are your favorite treats?
What are your favorite toys?
Where's your favorite spot to sleep?
Do you like children?
Do you like dogs?
Do you like other cats? (This can be a lead-in to the FIV questions...)
What are your biggest fears?
What do you want most in your forever home/family?

Not super creative ideas, but ones that should help highlight his personality and what people should expect.

Thank so much! These are great and definitely give me something to work with. Creative writing is so not one of my strengths.
