Hello Catsters!
I’m Crystal. I work within the advertising division for Catster. You’ll have seen a few of my posts on our social media and listened to a few of my tales on our YouTube channel.
Rising up, we all the time had canine. I thought-about myself to be a canine individual! That was till I moved in with my fiance, had a spot of my very own, and met my soul cat, Ivy.
My fiance must depart city typically for work, leaving me alone in a quiet home. One factor to learn about me: I HATE being alone.
As we lived in a fancy, it’d be unfair to have a canine in such a small area. The yard was teeny tiny, and with so many residents already complaining about different canine within the advanced, I needed to search for different choices to seek out companionship.
This was once I set my coronary heart on adopting a cat. With so many stunning kitties ready for his or her perpetually properties in shelters, essentially the most tough half was convincing my fiance. I begged, I pleaded (I maybe even cried) for weeks on finish.
Finally, he gave in. I already had so many adoption posters saved on social media, and I discovered it unattainable to decide on one. Why couldn’t I’ve all of them?
In the future, I opened Fb and noticed this publish:
I can’t clarify it, however I knew this was meant to be my cat. I instantly referred to as the quantity. The woman mentioned that as a result of this kitty has such a novel coat and is long-haired, there was quite a lot of curiosity already, however she would hold me up to date.
Later that day, she gave me a name and let me know what I’d need to do to ensure that her to determine whether or not I used to be one of the best potential cat mother – I needed to ship by means of a video of our condo, a pet approval doc from our advanced, and be ready to pay an adoption payment of round $150. This would come with her first vaccinations and spaying process.
Lengthy story brief, two days and quite a lot of preparation later, I used to be on the best way to choose up my kitty after she had been spayed!
I knew I’d love her, after all, however I used to be so nervous. Would she love me? Would I be a superb cat mother? Would she solely be round when it was feeding time?
All of these worries have been put to mattress just about instantly. She was pleasant and affectionate and appeared really grateful to have discovered a protected, loving dwelling with us. Over time, with quite a lot of persistence and reassurance (and treats), we constructed a tremendous relationship.
The bond I’ve with my cat is not like another bond I’ve had with earlier animals we’ve owned.
And sure, my fiance adores her – she stole his coronary heart the second he laid eyes on her and now accompanies him whereas he will get prepared for work early within the mornings.
In fact, cat possession doesn’t come with out its personal set of distinctive hurdles and challenges…
I’ll be sharing some extra of my life with Ivy – the great, the dangerous, and the ugly – on Catster.com within the weeks to return!
