Hi everyone!
I'm new here & thought I'd say hi! My name is Sherry and I have one cat, Sally, a calico. My husband & I lived in a no-pets-allowed apartment for years, so when we finally bought a house, one of the first things we did was go to the local animal shelter. Every time I walked by Sally in her cage, she would reach out & grab my sleeve. Too cute! We laugh and say she chose us. The shelter said she was a stray & was about 1 year old. So after spending half the afternoon with her, we brought her home (and that was one year ago yesterday).
Sally is one of the best choices we've made, she is so much fun. She plays all the time! When she's not playing, she likes to sit on her "house" to look out the window & talk to the birds. If you talk to Sally, she will talk (well, meow) back to you. She loves to be petted and will always sit close to you, but doesn't like to be held & won't sit on anyone's lap. She won't sleep on the bed with us (she's usually up playing), but on really cold nights she'll sleep on my pillow and burrow in my hair.
We're having some problems right now, she was spayed about a month after we got her but she's acting like she's in heat. We see the vet tonight. The vet is thinking (just from our phone conversation) that she has a UTI infection & is screaming because she's in pain. Please keep your fingers crossed for Sally! I will post more after a diagnosis.
