I have posted a few times with questions and have found this site to be so helpful and kind for a first time kitty owner. So -- thought I should introduce myself!
Jenn is my name and I live in beautiful Portland Oregon. And I drive a jetta (hence the login name) and I am a single, working professional in her mid 30s who loves kitties and coffee.
Now the good stuff.. I have a beautiful gray/white domestic short hair kitty named Bella Flower. I got her from the shelter last October and fell in love within minutes.
Bella Mia (nickname) is almost 7yrs old and very gentle and laid back. She is afraid of tin foil and the vacuum,
but loves sniffing the fresh air through the screen doors and salmon toothpaste. yum!
I almost lost her at Christmas time to IBD
and by the grace of God, she pulled through. It would seem she had IBD for many years untreated and her colon was almost gone. I am beginning to think this is why her previous owners (a family) left her at the shelter (
). But she had surgery/biopsy and was in ICU for 2wks and pulled through. The vet said her white/red blood count was so off, he wasnt optomistic, but she came home in January and ever since has been much more active and eating well. It was definitely a miarcle.
Now she is happy and sweet and is much more energetic. I am very strict with her diet (Hills w/d) and routine, and lots of love and kisses. She sleeps with me at night and is a nice cuddler and watches tv on my lap when I get home from work. I wish you all could meet her, so sweet is she.
I have a confession that I tend to be very paranoid with her health and probably smother her w/ too much love & attention and 'how are you feeling?!!' questions but I am still gun shy from our IBD days. One of these days I will settle down hopefully..
So, thats our story. Hello and I am glad TCS is around to share the kitty love.
