When, Where and How I Got My Cat

I got my cat a year ago when she was 7 years old. My nephew got her for his children and then he kept sneezing so much, he was getting rid of her. Being alone and I had been wishing for a long time to get a cat. I took her in.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

She is so sweet that is why I named her Precious.

She loves to cuddle and is a lap cat. She is very smart.

She was so easy to train to lay down, come here and go

lay down.

We have our special time every day taking a nap together.

She is in great health and loves to play under the covers in bed.

Advice

  • Don't ever yell at your cat.
  • They are very loving and need tenderness of soft and sweet words.
  • Get checkups and keep them in good health.
  • Give them all love and attention every day.
