Coming Home - The Fur-ever Home Tails

 

I was adopted into my fur-ever home October 2020 at age 9 months old just a few days before Halloween along with my cat sister and litter mate Leah (a tabby). Leah is a gorgeous and athletic tabby cat that loves the challenge of the climb. While Leah was extremely afraid of humans, I knew that my human family was very special, and I loved them very much from the very beginning. Unfortunately, it was very different for Leah. She hid everywhere and would not come out until late at night to play and roam freely. She wasn’t able to go to Disney World with us and missed out on some quality family time! She didn’t trust humans at first but slowly but surely, she is getting better every day! What a difference a year can make for a cat to adapt and change for the better.

Just before a few days before New Years Eve, our sister Star showed up and became a part of our little family. She is a regal and beautiful, fluffy cotton white cat with the prettiest green eyes. When she came home, Leah and I were so excited and wanted to play with her and groom her so much. But there was one small problem: Star does not like nor trust other cats! Naturally, my feelings were hurt at first, but Leah took it worst! When Star would hiss and growl at us, Leah would be so sad and frustrated. Sometimes they got into the worst cat fights that I had to get into the middle of it and stop it from continuing. It took a long time, but we all are now getting along better and better. Star doesn’t hiss and growl at us like we are strangers. And the best thing is I finally get to sit near my sister peacefully. Who doesn’t love progress? Unfortunately, from time-to-time Star and Leah will clash and get into fights or be competitive with each other. They love to see who can out climb each other. Leah does not like to be beaten. As for me, climbing competitions are not my thing.  I like climbing up midway since I am a bit klutzy and I’m not competitive at all. I like comfort, eating good food and great company! Once fed, nothing better than the companionship and love of my family: humans and animals alike.

Anyway, more later regarding my life journey as an adored indoor black cat. As I begin to post more and more, I want to talk about what it is like being a black cat in a world that thinks that we are bad and unlucky. Changing these perceptions and misconceptions post by post and video by video would mean the world to me.  Also, giving a voice to all the voiceless animals and pets around the world and helping the less fortunate would also be something close to my furry heart in making a lasting difference in this world. Please follow me and share my message to everyone you know. Who knows maybe one day we can all be good friends to each other? I’d love that a lot.

Adoption Day Part Two: The First Night Home

  (Editor’s Note: FYI, please read “ Adoption Day: The Ride Home Part One ” if you haven’t had the chance to do so already. You can also check out Pixie and her sister’s adoption story here and note that we have a free checklist that covers Adoption Day: Part One & Two here .) Pixie here and I’d love to discuss with you the items and things you need for the first night home with your adorable fur-baby after adoption. To continue my furry story from where we left off in “ Adoption Day: The Ride Home Part One ,” once we finally got home and our cage doors were opened, I immediately got out seeking to be settled and cozy. Our fur-ever family made sure to have quite a few key items available to get us comfortable. Our fur-ever family made it super easy, and I had no problems bonding with my human family. Meanwhile Leah being a special case and very shy and reluctant around humans, she hid under any piece of furniture she could find and fit under. She kept on hiding during the d...

Adoption Day Part One: The Drive Home

  Hey friends and family of the furry! It’s Pixie and I’m back again to talk to you about the first night after adoption and what you need to make your home a comfy fur-ever home! If you want to know more about my complete adoption story, you can find it here ! Adoption day was one of the best days for me and my sister Leah’s life even if we didn’t really realize it at the time. All we knew at the time when we were about 9 months old were the places we stayed temporarily and then the shelter. That was it! When they put the two of us in separate crates to be transported to our fur-ever homes with our fur-ever home families, we were in a panic! Although our fur-ever family was so nice and warm towards, it was only one visit before it was decided that we would leave with them and live with them permanently. On our adoption day, we were okay up until we left the building. We meowed once we got out of the door and yet kept going! We meowed all the way to our new home and Leah had spraye...
