Hi everybody! Thanks for all the good advice I have already found here. I am a first time cat owner and so I am learning as I go. A month ago I would have told you "Im not a cat person." However, 3 weeks ago a black and white kitten was wondering around outside my apartment. He was very cute and affectionate when I would stop to pet him. It got cold one night so I let him inside thinking it was for a short time. Well we quickly bonded. He hopped up on my lap and instantly fell asleep for 2 hours. I realized I had been adopted.
I took him to the vet the day after I found him. Everybody that worked there fell in love with him as well. They all wanted him if I didnt. During the routine tests it was discovered he has Feline Leukemia. The vet thought I should put him to sleep right then and there. In a matter of 2 days I went from not caring for cats all that much to crying like a baby for this one. I could not put hime to sleep. So now he is mine for as long as he seems happy and healthy. I named him Galileo. I teach science and it just seemed to fit. I think I am NOW a cat person! lol! I love him to death! He is very affectionate and loves to wake me up by rubbing his nose on mine. He is sleeping on my chest as I type this!
Not sure how to post a pic, but when I do I will show you a pic!
