This is Rusty- I adopted her when she was a kitten and she ADORED me. She is now about 14 years old and HATES me.
I'm sure u guys are wondering what in the world about Rusty hating me...
It's a very interesting story and shows how SMART cats can be..
When Rusty was about 5 years old, I was driving home and found an injured cat on the side of road- he was bleeding from the mouth. After knocking on a few doors and having no luck finding his owners, I decided to put him on my lap in my car and drive him home so I could get my mom to come with me to the vet. Sammy (injured cat was hit in the head with something which caused hemmoraging). Luckily, the vet was able to save him and after he was at the shelter for a couple days with no one finding a home for him, I pleaded with my dad to let me bring him home temporarily and find another home for him. After a few weeks, I had fallen in love with Sammy and convinced dad to let me keep him.
Rusty KNEW it was me that brought him home and kept him. Ever since I brought Sammy home, Rusty REFUSED to sleep with me, would hiss/growl if I walk into the same room and would swat like crazy at me. It has been over 10-11 years now and Rusty still goes crazy whenever she sees me- hiss/growl/swatting at me. I am the only one who she strikes out at so that shows how smart she is..
Hope u enjoy this story AND the GORGEOUS pic of her. I MISS petting her- her fur is soooooo soft!!
I sometimes would try to sneak in while she's sleeping on my dad's lap and pet her LIGHTLY. Poor dad- sometimes Rusty would wake up and start hissing and dad would wake up with a start and yell at me to get out of the room and stop bothering him and Poor Rusty (his words not mine!)
