Mean Cat!

If you know me well, you should know by now that I am a cat lover. I used to have 3 cats. My first cat, Jesse, was adopted from a local animal shelter. She was a sweet and beautiful Siamese mix. She greeted me when I come home late at night, and liked to cuddle up with me at night. My second cat, Walter, was rescued by an ex-student of mine Lily. According to Lily, Walter followed her to school one morning, then made himself at home in my classroom. 왠 베짱? I tried to get him adopted by another student, but she came back an hour later claiming that Walter threw her a big fit on her way home and wanted to come back to me. Arrrrrrg! Ye know, cats cannot talk... Anyway, she wasn't' totally lying about Walter not wanting to go home with her. He seemed uneasy and nervous. Surprisingly, when she handed him back to me, Walter settled down immediately, sweet as a lamb, so my tender heart couldn't refuse him. I brought him back home with me that night. My third cat Martini was a spontaneous venture. Anyway, none of them are with me now for good reasons.

Tonight, I was attacked by a neighborhood cat. You see I made a huge mistake by feeding the neighborhood cats some time ago. Although it took awhile for them to warm up to me, they are now trained to gather at my doorstep every evening. The problem is that one of the cats, fat & blond, is really aggressive and greedy. It meows at me until I hand over something it wants, CAN FOOD! Huge mistake!!

This fat cat was upset at my meal-plan change tonight-no wet food, it came up to me and scratched my right leg and foot. Imagine a 20 lbs. stray cat attacking you in the middle of the night! Ye know this kinda stuffs only supposed to happen on a Halloween eve. by a black cat. Guess my random act of kindness to these cats has to come to an end. Like those stories about kind, innocent people getting killed by freeway murderers. I don't want to be remembered as the first human killed by a neurotic street cat in...anywhere! Drama! Kekeke...I know... :P

Anyway, tonight I am going to cuddle up(?) with my new kitten if she lets me. Yes! That's right! You read it right. After 2 years of swearing on not getting another cat after that bloody accident, I ended up with another rescued kitten. Raymond, my other ex-student who is headed to European trip in four days asked me if I could take care of this poor sickly cat 2 weeks ago. So, that's how I ended up with a new kitten and a huge vet bill in a nutshell. Anyone interested in adopting her? I didn't think so!

Neko. She is 2 months old. Named by Devin, an Anime Maniac! Neko means 'cat' in Japanese according to her.
