I've frequented this site in the past but I hadn't made an account until recently. Forgetting to introduce myself, I jumped right into asking for some suggestions, oops.
Hello everyone, I am happy to officially be a part of the site. I'm a mother of three furbabies, two cats and a chinchilla.
Kitty is a 6.5 year old white DSH. I rescued him at 5 weeks old a nursed him back to health. Something unique about him is he's got heterochromia, meaning he has two different colored eyes. Watching them change as he grew was great, my only regret being that I didn't get as many kitten photos of him as I wish I did.
He broke his leg at a year old so that was a huge ordeal, but he's doing great now. There are occasions where you can tell something happened but generally you wouldn't know. With all he went though, he's developed a bit of a hatred for the vet and a fear of bald men(the vet who fixed his leg was bald, left him with a complex Lol). He gets downright nasty when I bring him to work, which makes things a bit difficult. While he'll make no move to bite me, he has no problem lashing out at my coworkers.
Overall he's your typical cat. You pet him on his terms and only as long as he wants. He kneads all the time, literally all the time. Blankets, pillows, your face... Whatever he can get at. It's not nice to pick favorites but... He's the best animal I've ever had the privilege of caring for.
Next is Crowley, a year old tuxedo DLH. He was found outside of a AAA building and brought in by a client who frequently rescues strays. I couldn't resist, so he came home with me Halloween of last year. He's a feline trashcan and will eat anything he can. It doesn't matter if it's food or not, if he deems it edible he will eat it.
He's named after a character in Supernatural. Anyone who knows the show... He fits his name. He's by far the naughtiest cat I've ever had, and his endless energy does not help his case. Kitty is well behaved and I never had to worry about certain things, but Crowley is a completely different story. Every single day, I'm astonished at the mischief he gets into. Apparently he's found a way around zip ties(because I was forced to tie all my food cabinets shut otherwise he would eat everything). Not sure if I'm annoyed or impressed.
Overall he's a pest and he drives me crazy, but I love him anyway.
Bean is my chinchilla, who I inherited from my brother on Thanksgiving 2014. He got him for his children but soon realized it was a terrible idea, so naturally I had to take him. There's no way I could let him take him back to Petco. He's cost me a fortune and an emergency trip 2.5 hours out of my way... But he's alright. I spent weeks feeding him every two hours, medicating him, and keeping him alive. I thought I lost him several times but he held on. I'm grateful that he made it and to those who helped me during that crisis.
There are photos of both my kitties on my profile, but none of the chinchilla. I'll post some if you guys like but I've rambled enough already.
I look forward to becoming a part of this site, thank you for having me.
