- Proud pet parent of:
- 2 Beautiful rescued kitties...make that 3. Last week I opened my front door to a yelping 4 week old beautiful little boy. Found his mommy but she rejected him - not sure why but now he is ours....
- How we met:
- Boyfriend convinced me I would love cats - I didn't think so. 2 months after adopting Buster my BIG beautiful boy I knew I was hooked and he needed a playmate - rescued our precious Bella who for the 1st 7 months of her life was not treated too well and it took months before she trusted us.
- Pet likes:
- Buster is LAZY - loves to spoon with me and makes biscuits (kneeds constantly) on this soft blue blanket every night. Plus he loves to take care of his little sister.
Bella - just loves attention. She went from cowering in a closet - us feeding her on our fingers, crying constantly and shaking - to jumping all over us, cuddling and playing with her big brother constantly. Update.. Peanut our latest edition is CRAZY. He had some issues with his tail and ringworm and the vet figured that was why his mother rejected him but now he is getting big and very healthy. He is extremely athletic and thinks he is alot bigger than he is...he is already bullying the older two around.
- Pet dislikes:
- Buster does not like to be moved when sleeping - approx 16 hours a day.
Bella hates to be picked up. All cuddling and love must be on her own terms...
Peanut does not like to be disturbed while eating and when you pick him up he squeals.
- Pet’s favorite spot:
- Looking out the windows for both Buster & Bella - laying in the sun being nosey...
Peanut takes his naps on my chest or on my pillow and if I move too much he gets annoyed and swats me and squeals...lol
- Pet’s favorite toy:
- Mice - Bella can be brutal.
String for Peanut.
- Pet’s silliest habit:
- Buster makes biscuits constantly on this one blue blanket but slobbers all over it..
Bella jumps up on couch and will try and walk on your head..
Peanut does this new thing when you are in the kitchen he runs in and just plops down like playing dead. He makes a thud and everything. At first I got scared thinking something happened but he just lays there staring at you looking pretty cute.
- Pet’s sweetest moments:
- Every moment. They all bring so much joy and love to our lives.
- I crack up when my pet:
- Plays with one another - and hops on their back legs.
Peanut goes flying off the bed onto the other two cats backs to play...
- My pet is unique because:
- they both came from different mothers and had different upbringing and yet they came together like brother and sister. Buster really helped Bella trust us.
Peanut has split personalities.

Animals = Love
2 cats and they are both a year and a few months - and they have truly blessed my life. It amazes me how the youngest (bella) - who was beaten as a kitten and not treated very well has learned to trust us. Now ofcourse we were not the ones who beat or abused her - but isn't it amazing how forgiving animals truly are. All they want is to be loved. I spend everyday thinking of ideas to raise money and awareness. About 2 weeks ago I submitted my application to volunteer at the LA SPCA. I have to

As for the older cats accepting the little one, here are some ideas. Make a space for the big cats in another room, someplace they can go that the baby isn't allowed, so they can get some alone time. I know it's difficult to do that, keeping the baby out of certain rooms, but the big kitties need some space. Also get some Feliway plug ins, they are expensive but worth every penny. Plug one in the room that the cats spend the most time in, and watch how mellow they become. If the baby is bothering the big cats, put him away for a little while, so they can have some down time. Feed the big cats in a separate room, so they can eat in peace. Get one of those fishing pole toys so you can play with them all together. The big cats may resist the little one for a while, but rest assured, you'll catch them grooming him or sleeping with him one day soon. Cats don't like change, and it just takes a while for them to accept new cats.
Please keep me posted on what's going on with the garage kitty.
