I know my coming here wasn't with the best news but I would like to introduce you to my other cat Pepper. Pepper is about 2 weeks older then Taffy and is a Harlequin.
How I got this cat wasn't on the best terms. She was a rescue kitty. I had a friend wayyyyyy back years ago who wanted a cat, we came across this ad in an apartment building we were looking at as he was looking for a new place, we went to talk to the people and they told us there was one cat left which was the runt and they would bring her to him the next day. He started out as incredibly loving but then got really abusive with her when I wasn't looking. I will spare you all the dumb things he did :mad: however he left his apartment and shows up at my place one day and tells me he hadn't been to his place in 3 weeks, I figured he found a new home for Pepper. I inquired and he told me that he left her at the apartment, SAY WHAT? Left her there? With nothing? No food, no water, no nothing and he was NOT planning to go back because he had skipped rent. I demanded the keys to go and get MY NEW CAT. My mother said I was allowed only if I found a home for her (if she was still alive) She was infact alive but acting like a maniac through out the apartment, it was trashed and she had gone above and beyond to survive, she opened all the cubards and ate everything out of them, she managed to open the fridge and pull food out of there, including meats and breaking the eggs on the floor. One very determined kitty, she was very scared and her hair was falling out. I took her home and got her healthy, also refusing to give her up.
Pepper is now a healthy 11 year old cat, she is def not ALL there but it adds to her character, she makes me laugh everyday, she is the most docile kitty I have EVER come across, this cat does NOT bite and will NOT bite. She follows me around everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. If I am behind a closed door she actually cries at the door for me sticking her little paws underneath. She doesn't pur much but more rather makes a grunting sound when touched or petted, it's funny, I have now mastered this sound and will make it to get her to come to me, she comes when called by name or this weird grunt. A lot of people describe her as "out to lunch" lol She has won many hearts including those who are not even cat lovers, people just automatically love her.
She is very small for her age, the vet's can't even believe she is 11 years old because she looks about 2, the vet is concerned she may be part parott :p because she squacked like one the entire time we were in there getting her, her shots, she was also perching herself on everyones shoulder like one. She can do tricks, like stand and beg for treats, meows on cue (her meow sounds so silly and fragile, kitten like). She rubs on everything, gives me kisses and paws my face, she only does this to me for some reason. I can't even eat a ice cream without sharing. She also likes chips and popcorn. lol
I try to keep her indoors but when she get's out she is gone, like a lightening rod, her speed is unbelievable, she always comes back though and stays close by, usually just rolling around in the grass behind my house.
Anyhoo, this is my princess Pepper (She really does think she is one).

And these ones just for fun, she got herself stuck on the roof of the house sometime back and wasn't too pleased that I rather photograph her then crawl out the window to get her. lol

I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at her before when she made these faces because she looks all angry with me but if you had heard the tiny meows coming out of her mouth you would have laughed too no doubt, she is hardly the big bad kitty she thought she was here.
