Since I’m solid busy this weekend, I’ve rounded up a guest blogger. Monty, who has taken to billing himself “The MontySattva” is writing today about his favorite topic: himself. So, without further ado (I’ve always wanted to say that about something) here is my Little Man.
Hi everybody! I’m super excited that Momma is letting me write an actual blog today. Usually, she just tells me to sit down and watch but I’m here to tell you that you don’t need opposable thumbs or a human brain to write a blog. I mean, have you read some of them? Anyway, I’m glad to be here and to get a chance to talk to you all.
I don’t think my chance to write today is an accident. You see, today is my five year anniversary of being rescued! It was a lucky day for me, that’s for sure. My human mom came and got me out of a cold, dark, and dirty place and brought me to her house. I was supposed to be a foster kitten and get adopted out to someone else but I am just so darn cute and engaging, not to mention smart. After she had watched me grow from a scrawny four week-old baby with blue eyes and sparse fur who the cat doctor said might not make it to a solid, active boy with green eyes and thick black fur how could she let me go? She says, and this is a direct quote, “Oh, Monty, every day you make me laugh!”. So there’s her reason.
Actually, (and I’m not sure if she knows this or not) I decided the moment I was let out of the travel carrier that I wasn’t leaving. Not ever. No way. The food here is ample and delicious. There are plenty of other animals here, so I never get bored. Lots of ledges and cat beds and counters to observe my world from.
I am pretty sure that eventually the old girl cats will start to like me. I try to get them interested by jumping on them and swatting them, but they just aren’t very friendly. Their loss, right?
The dogs are okay. Buster the pit bull is calm and quiet and I like to rub my face against him. Luna the German shepherd is sometimes okay but man, does she make a racket when someone comes to the door, or there’s a squirrel in the yard, or maybe a leaf falls from a tree. Can’t believe that Momma calls her ‘Baby’ or ‘Momma’s Loon’ in that cooing, irritating voice and then Luna gets all wiggly and pants and tilts her fool head and gets a cookie.
I’m not going to let it bother me, though. I’ve got a good life and by the way, there’s a rumor that cats live longer than big dogs. Who’ll get the last laugh, I ask you?
So I guess the point I want to make is that it’s really good to rescue little hungry kittens, especially if they are me, because we make wonderful companions. If you don’t have a cat or you don’t have enough cats, check out your local shelter or rescue group. You’re sure to find the cat of your dreams there. My momma did!
