Hi everyone! 
I'm ashley, and my princess' name is Pixie! we are from Minnesota. I just joined to see if I can increase my knowledge on cats and to be able to ask questions to others who love their cats! Most people I am friends with have basic barn cats who just eat whatever is thrown at them and live outside or have dogs, so i wanted to use this as a resource for me to help myself learn more so I am able to give my girl the perfect life she deserves. 


a little about our story:

I'm an Equine Science major at a university. I went to help out a class one day and walk into the room to find five kittens hanging out in the room. They had just gotten their first set of shots from another class and were owned by one of the teachers. They came to class to get some socialization and to be out of the kennel for a while. I picked her up and she fell asleep, cuddled in my hands for the entire class. When class was over, I set her down on the counter and took the bottom middle picture of her and sent it to my roommate asking if we could get a cat. I met with the teacher telling her I fell in love with her and she said she was giving them away for free to a good home. My roommate came to meet her while I was in class. I got out and everyone had left. I called my roommate to find out she had brought the kitten home and was at walmart getting her the basics. She was supposed to be "our" cat. She instantly became attached to me. to keep things separate from the dog, we put all her things in my room. Needless to say, she became my cat. she would sit on my laptop while I was trying to do homework, snuggle up above my head to sleep, and she would always greet me at the door when I came home. She wasn't supposed to be mine. She was supposed to be my roommates and go home with her for school breaks. She came home with me, although my mom was not happy. I've now owned her for a year and almost two months. I love her to death. she's my rock and my amazing princess. I have never met a more tolerant cat who lets me clip her nails with just a few growls, scratch her belly, hold her as tight as I want without much fuss. I treat her like a little kid would, because I have a one year old neice, and she has never offered to actually bite. I can pull on her tail, feet, hair, ears, etc. and the most she will ever do is put her teeth on me, but never even put pressure down. Everyone who meets her is amazed that she doesn't use her claws ever. She's crazy vocal and will always let you know what's going through her mind and super personable. She's definitely not a shy one! She's truly a once in a lifetime cat. I love her more than words can describe. It's been a battle feeding another mouth while in college and paying for her spay and regular vet checks, but it's worth it. 

I'm excited to get some of my questions answered and to meet some friends who don't think I'm the "crazy cat lady"
