For the Love of... Cats!

Meet my cat, Montecarlo! She’s female, by the way. oops. Her nickname is Monty. Even with that alias they still mistake her for a him, though. I mean, does that name really sound masculine? Because I personally think all names that end with ‘-y’ are pretty girlish. Heh. She was born on February 2012, and I got her when she was about 3 months old.

First tour outside: "I'll get you for this."

I remember when I first got her, she was so tiny and meek and meowing like a poor thing! But after arriving a few minutes in the hotel (Yes! We sneaked her in! mehehe.) she was already out running and playing in the room. It was a memorable day for us when we first got her, because the night later, we would be on a trip back to my hometown and, pets were prohibited inside the bus. It was a decision we had to make, my cousin, sister and I. It’s a win-lose situation. We could either get her home safely or get her thrown out the middle of the road if we got caught! Well, there’s no way the bus conductor would do that to a poor kitty, right? And so we stuck to the latter. Imagine the stress she had to go through. And imagine our sleepless 8 hour trip, trying to stop her meows and attempts of jumping from the seats. It was crazyyy! I guess I’d also give a share of thanks to the cooperative passengers who saw her yet didn’t say a thing, for a successful mission. I’m just glad we’re over that part. And I never want it to happen again. -_- So far, it never has. When she had to be brought back to Manila (where I currently live), my parents had her in the car with them. That’s how it goes until today. It’s the best deal. No stress, and she’s treated like a princess! Ain’t that how they like to be treated? Like royalty. *wink wink*

zzzzz

Right now she’s in the province with me. She’s a year and nine months now! Growing up too soon. She’s prepared to be a mom now. But I’m not yet ready to become a grandma! LOL. And I still have to discuss this with Taylor. (You see, TL’s her biological father. No wink part here, I’m serious.)

“Annoying human slave putting her filthy hands on me…”

Monty is my first cat. She’s crossed out all my misconceptions about cats being snob, apathetic, scary, etc etc. Was I the only who had that kind of thinking? I don’t think so. A lot of people do. Cats often get compared to the more common house pet – dogs, to be less lively, less expressive and less interactive with their owners. It’s true, they can be timid. But it’s not that they don’t express their feelings and interact with their humans. You just have to find a different way to understand them. And accept the fact that cats and dogs are very different species. Cats are sweet and loving too. (And they can be funny!) They may not just be as energetic as dogs. But they can also greet you at the doorstep coming home from work or school. Mine does! :D Oh hey dog lovers, don’t get the wrong idea ‘kay? It’s not like I’m brainwashing the readers into getting a feline, surrendering themselves and becoming slaves of the royal supremacy. Nope, not at all. I love dogs too, you see! ;) I have owned several, I currently own one and til now love them to death. (But I guess this is not the right post to talk about it…)

How would cats look if they had eyebrows? Hmmm...

So you guys, don’t just dismiss the thought of having a pet which you haven’t even fully gotten to know about yet. May it be a cat, dog, chicken, pig or armadillo. Research, research, research! Get to know the breed, their traits, your compatibility with them, the money and of course time you will need to spend, and a lot more!

Well, thanks for reading up to this point. Till next time! (:

Oh wait a sec, let me introduce Patsy first! My sister’s awfully fluffy cat. :3

Meow meow! :3

She’s about four months younger than Monty. My sister got her after she took care of Monty for some time. I guess she became attached and soon wanted a cat of her own. She’s the fluffier one. (I’d guess she’s a triple coat.) And sooo funny too! Hilarious. She’s also more aggressive and energetic than Monty. That’s all for now. Byeee!

Lovin' the light!
