I never wanted a cat and always preferred dogs as id had one as a child and she doted on us ! Cats on the other hand I thought were not loving go their owners and only came near you for food ! We lost a son at birth over two years ago and although I managed to go back to work and get my life back on track I still obsessed and felt I needed something in my life. We work so thought a cat may be better to leave for a few hours a day. We'd never owned a cat and knew nothing about them ! We looked online and drove to Romford to view some kittens. We get to the door of a house where there appeared mayhem in the background - children, teenagers adults smoking what smelt like pot ! A young girl came along and pulled a tiny grey tabby out of the sleeve of her housecoat handed her to my partner who was bitten straight away ! 'Are they supposed to do that he said' to which the young girl replied 'she doesn't like being cold'. They gave us a dirty bowl and some worming lotion took £60 and shut the door on us ! It transpired she was little more than 6 weeks old ! 3 months later we've gone through her beng sick on cheap commercial cat food (we didn't know that was like feeding your kitten junk food); being bitten to shreds and clawed ! Woken up at 7 on the dot with her running up and down us and nipping at our toes and head butting out faces until we give get breakfast (funny enough she can stomach the most expensive vet prescribed food and boiled chicken). She follows us everywhere, sleeps above our heads or by out feet! In the last week she has started riding on our shoulder and wrapping her body found our necks and running our cheeks so lovingly with kisses. She there lying on the floor, by the door every evening when we get in from work with her paws up and tummy ready to be rubbed! She has made us smile and laugh again and I have definitely changed my perception of cats !
