When, Where and How I Got My Cat

We got Kiara from someone who was just trying to get rid of kittens. Zoey was from a lady that loved cats but was not able to keep all the kittens her cat had.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

Kiara was very shy and when we first brought her home she only came out to observe us at night and even hid in a plastic dresser and we though we lost her!She was only 4 weeks old so we bottle fed her until she could eat dry food and for outside cat, she already knew how to use the litter box! Now she is a loving active part of the family! She is short haired and definately has the calico pattern and temperment. She was also born in august and is a leo. Zoey is very intelligent. She looks like a maine coon with colors similiar to a siamese. She is so loyal to my husband and does not like being COA! She cries when she needs something to let you know shes there. Shes very playful does not like to be pushed around by Kiara at all! Shes a looking and petting cat you do not hold her and she will let you know that. She also has a cute flesh colored nose!

Advice

  • These two cats co exist together but will not tolerate another "sibling". Weve tried getting other cats even kittens and they prefer the company of each other. Zoeys breed is very smart and she knows her weekly routine. If somethings out of place she will let you know. Kiara is more laid back and doesnt really complain. I think shed starve before she let us know her food bowl is empty. But if you walk by it she will cry.
