Tansu`s blog about her pet, Artist , inspired me to write about mine “Candy”. He joined our family 1,5 years ago. On a hot August day, we found out that a cat gave birth in our garden. She had 2 lovely babies. At first she didn`t want to show them to us but she allowed us after starting to eat meals which we gave her. My little sister – she was 3,5 -4 years old then- gave their names. According to her, mommy cat`s name was “Bella”, her babies` were “Edward” and “Jacob”. Unfortunately one night approximately 3-4 huge dogs killed their mom. I saw that but I couldn`t save her. I threw at stones and tried to chase them but I couldn`t get on. They didn`t care me. After this incident we took kitties to our second floor and started to take care them. They were scared and helpless and weren`t used to eat meal without helping their mom. As time passed, they got used us and we changed their names because we thought they were females -What a mistake!- Their new names “Lady” and “Candy”. Till summer, they stayed in our roof. We made place where they could stay outside. They started to live outside and when they got hungry, they meowed and took their meal. -I want to point out that they were very selective in food, they didn`t eat everything which we gave. They prefered mostly egg, cheese, meat, chicken and of course fish. Candy is still selective :D – Frankly speaking Lady wasn`t very smart and he even followed the dogs and one day we couldn`t find him. Candy is alone now and I think he forgot his brother. He lives comfortably. Since he is very cute cat ( He is also very fat cat like Garfield!) almost everyone in our neighbourhood feed him. Especially our next door neighbour loves him very much and Candy usually sleeps at her home. I also feel Candy`s affection towards me. Whenever he sees me, he jumps to my lap and starts to look my face differently as if i were his mom. I have forgetten this feeling since my bird, Çikita`s death. Thanks to Candy, I remembered it. He is now our sixth member of our family and I love him very much. I recommend everyone take care a pet.
Hi Aslıhan. Firstly, I congratulate you as you are an animal lover person and took the responsibility to take care of the cats. You must have felt very bad when the mommy cat died. But you did your best to save her. By the way, I found it really interesting that they are selective in food. What spoilt cats!!
