My Pets

Today, I thought I would introduce you all to my pets.

 

We adopted Soapy back in September 1996.  My mum’s friend cat had given birth to a litter of six kittens.  It was costly and unfortunately, she could not take care of all of all them.  So mum was asked if she could give a good home, and the rest is history.       

 

When he was younger, he jumped in the bath.  Then he started playing with the foam bubbles.  He got out and was covered in white bubbles!  That’s how he got his name.

 

He is a very friendly cat.  He also likes to eat and sleep all day. Wouldn’t life be easy if we were a cat?

 

Our youngest cat is named Chewy.  We rescued her from an Animal shelter in July 2004.  Her previous owners had named her Chewbacca from the “Star Wars” movies.  We shortened it, and my goodness, she lives up to it by eating anything and everything! 

 

When we brought her home, she couldn’t eat.  All she was drinking was cat milk.  But then Soapy encouraged her to eat, and showed her what to do.  They get along great.  They really look after each another.

 

Chewy is a very shy and timid cat.  Mum used to look after some children, who would chase after her and scream at her.  It was terrible, and shortly afterwards we asked the mum to find another child minder.

 

Mum still looks after children.  But these ones are much better behaved.  But if Chewy hears any loud or sudden noises, she runs away.  Now, she is getting used to things and is much better.
