I do look forward to posting Feline Fridays. Reading about wonderful stories about people's pets is very heart warming. It gives me energy for the weekend and the week ahead. So thank you all for taking time to answer my questions.
Today is all about a sweet feline family member of Stephanie from Concerning Pancakes of Portland Oregon.
Let me introduce you to...
Chairman Meow(she's a girl, though)
Chairman Meow is about 2 years old. Just briefly, Chairman has been with Stephanie for about three months now. When Stephanie rescued her she was injured, but currently she is recovering and getting a lot better. I have been passionately following the story of Chairman's recovery on Stephanie's blog. We are all wishing Chairman to get well soon! :D
1. How did you find Chairman?
My husband and I got her at the Oregon Humane Society. They have a really great set up so you can browse through all the available animals online and then go and see them in person. It's really nice because then you can look at animals that will suit your needs, rather than having to wander all over the humane society. (The more time I spend there the more animals I want to bring home with me!)
2. How would you describe Chairman's personality?
Because she has been injured since we got her, I thought maybe it would be hard to tell what kind of personality she would have. But she is very affectionate and really energetic. She likes attention, a lot, especially first thing in the morning.
3. What are Chairman's favourite toy?
The shower curtain. She loves to attack it. She will just wait and watch it and pounce, even if it doesn't move. She also really likes the elastic cord on a pair of my track pants. She will start to attack them if I get anywhere near her when I wear them.
4. What is Chairman's favourite food?
She eats ProPlan for Indoor cats. Since she has been on so many medicines the past three months, I haven't really been able to give her a lot of treats. I'm sure she will get a taste for lots of different treats the longer we have her.
5. What is your favorite website for cats (e.g. shop, arts, toys etc.)
Well, I don't really have a site that I shop at for the Chairman. But I do think there are some cute/funny photos at the website Stuff On My Cat.
6. What do you like most about owning a cat?
Each cat I have ever had has been completely different than the last. The Chairman is such a sweet girl and she loves to get cozy, just like me. So I will bundle up in a blanket on the sofa and she will try to bury herself in the blanket too. It's just really comforting to have a little animal wanting to snuggle up and relax with you.
7. What is the most annoying thing that Chairman does?
First thing in the morning she is a real loud mouth. She will meow for a solid five minutes (even if you're petting her!) the first time she sees us in the morning. It's like we've been gone for years and she's letting us know that she was lonely.
8. What is the most memorable moment with Chairman?
When we found out that the reason her neck wound wouldn't heal was because of the needle stuck in her neck/throat. It was really traumatic for me. I was so sad for her. But it's out now (thank goodness!) and she is doing really well. Hopefully the rest of our memorable moments with the Chairman will be much happier.
9. Which part of Chairman's life style do you care most about?
Her health and comfort. The last few months have been rough for her, so I am determined to make sure that she has a calm and comfortable and healthy life.
10. What has living with Chairman taught you?
Responsibility! We only had the Chairman for about six weeks or so when we found out about the needle in her neck and that the surgery to remove it was going to be really expensive. But my husband and I knew that we couldn't give her up and not take care of it. The moment we brought her home, we had accepted the responsibility of caring for her, so that's what we needed to do.
Chairman Meow is a sweet, affectionate and brave kitty cat. You have all my support :DThank you Stephanie and Chairman Meow!
I have been browsing Oregon Humane Society. It really is a good website. Check it out!Tracy from Pink Purl :D
If you want to participate in Feline Friday (any pets welcome!) please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to feature you! :D
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
