Hi,

I already posted my first question, but I'm gonna go ahead and introduce myself and my cat anyway :)

I'm a med student from Turkey. I saw this cutie in our faculty, her mother is a Van cat, but her father is unknown. She put her difference from her siblings, and I liked her enough to ask the owner of the cat if I could take care of her.

She was a scared one when she came to her new home. She hid under stuff for a while. But in the same night, she was dying to sleep near me. She left her home when she was 1 month old, and went to a construction site near our faculty. Her mother used to go there to feed her. Then one day, she decides to come back. We think she's scared because of the sounds in that construction site, and probably bad behavior of the workers there towards her. 

We got very concerned about her stay at my home, because she didn't look like she liked me. In fact, if she could talk, she'd say "Die, you human!". But now she's always happy to see me. Her adaption period was shorter than we expected. We also worried about her socialization progress. But that's coming along nicely as well. 

She got so mad when she had two vaccines in the vet that she scared me and the vet, she got rid of us and she tried to take on a fight with the dog, which was luckily chained (Maybe lucky for him, huh). After that day, she sometimes tries to bite my hands. I let her time to time, but not always.

So... That's that. I'm gonna post some pictures of her. Her name is Sakız, which means Gum in Turkish. I don't know why, but white comes to the mind when someone says gum, and Sa-kız, Kız means girl in Turkish. I think that's a nice name. She reacts to the name, but I think she's just reacting to the voice, not the name. 


That's her, sleeping. She sleeps much.


She thinks I need to do laundry.


"Wait? Is that a camera?"


"That's how my human sleeps. He's okay."


"Cuteness, you said, human? That's cuteness."

She's beautiful. I've always loved how soft and fluffy solid white kittens look. 


Welcome. :)

Thank you Caralian.

She's so easy to love. She gets more friendly day by day. She can be tough sometimes, but I'm glad that I got her.

She's a beautiful girl.

I think most cats are quite feisty when they are young. I started feeding one of my cats, Mu, when she was a stray kitten and it took about 6 months before she would come close enough to be petted. Once I had made friends with her I was able to bring her indoors. She loves sleeping on the bed with the pillow just like Sakiz.

As she gets older she gets friendlier and friendlier, I'm sure you'll find the same thing with your girl.
