Cats for Change




So most of my friends know that I was never a fan of pets. Surprise right????  Well, I had a cat in elementary and middle school, but I don't think I played with him much.  Its pretty sad I hardly remember the little guy.  Then in High School I didnt have any pets plus I didnt really like going to friends houses that had them.  Especially dogs....whew did I really get nervous around dogs.  Same thing went for college.

Then I moved to Houston 1 year ago....and some friends gave me a kitten.  I named HER Rugby, since it is the best name for a cat.  (Thanks Courtney).

Honestly, I didnt think I'd keep the cat, cause I dont like pets, and I really had no interest in owning one.  Well it took about 22 hours and I was IN LOVE!  WOW what a cute kitten!!!!  

This past year Rugby and became super close. I taught her tricks and she even slept at the foot of my bed!  I had really come a LONG way with animals.  (At times I was the crazy cat lady.)

At some point in the madness of my new pet, I realize that I have a secret obsession with kittens and cats.  I love them, ALL of them, they are all cute.  I honestly do not think I would have figured it out if it hadn't of been for Rugby.

So to fast forward to my life now....I live with 3 cats: Raider, Rugby, and Ranger and 2 Dogs: Memphis and Tampa, and then down the road we have a horse: Eliza.  So I now am a partial owner of 5 pets, when on July 15 2007 I had ZERO.  

I'm a believer in change  =)   and love  <3

Everyone who knows me knows that I am NOT a pet person, but that little kitty is so cute. I'm just glad she's not in my house leaving her fur all over :)
