Last weekend my boyfriend Dave and I were walking back from a Friday dinner, and two blocks away from our house this friendly ally cat comes strolling on up to us begging for some pets. The first word out of my mouth was "Uh-Oh" because Dave and I really wanted a cat but the absentee landlord said no (but dogs are ok??). Dave really wants a lovey dovey cat and here is one circling his ankles. Without a word he picks her up and we run back to our house. We put her in the bathroom because its tiled and who knows what she has. She spends the night hiding under the tub.
The next morning we called the vet to see if we can bring her in. Dave makes the call and says we found a street cat last night. The receptionist cautiously asks if we plan to keep the cat ( I guess they get lots of animals dumped on them to the point where the city has made a law against it). Up to this point I am stupidly thinking that maybe we will bring her to a shelter. But in one word Dave single handedly impresses all the woman at the vets offices and voids our lease. "Yes," he says " we plan on keeping her."
So now we are pet owners. She is our first cat (as adults, we both grew up with animals). Other then a mild case of fleas the vet declared her healthy, without a micochip, and about a year old. And even better, the city of New York does a spay and release program, and it turns out she had been caught by it. Yay! Free spaying! Thats why she is missing the tip of her ear. They do it when they spay/neuter the ally cats.
She is so amazing! We named her Athena for the Greek Goddess of Wisdom because we dident have any when we took her home.
She is everything you could want in a cat. Well behaved, loving, and playful. All she wants is non stop petting. And she never uses her claws, even when we gave her a bath, and stuffed her into a box to bring her to the vet.
We are in LOVE
ATHENA!
