NEW MEMBER: T-REX

T-REX



Here is my kittie, T-Rex, who is FULL of tortitude! We were looking to adopt a cat and we found an ad in the newspaper "free kitty to good home." Here she was, this light tortie and we took her right away. She had taken over the house in just one night and began her "reign" as Queen. We named her T-Rex because she is a big girl and she sounds like a T-Rex when we hear her upstairs or running down stairs. We think she may have been abused as a younger cat (she is 6 now) because she does not like for any body part to be touched except her head and chin. She is demanding and definitely gets irritated if she her "supreme rule" of the house is imposed upon in any manner. But she has bonded to us and she happily greets us each night and follows us all around the house. She waits until we cut out the lights at night and then jumps on the bed and sleeps on my feet and purrs with contentment.

She loves to eat and is constantly begging for food. We have to be careful because if we are preparing any kind of fish or chicken for supper - we can't turn our backs or we find her climbing for it. She is a bit tubby but that doesn't keep her from running around and chasing her toys. She loves to jump for the mouse on a string toy. Needless to say, we are so attached to her that we have trouble sleeping in a hotel without the purr motor to lull us to sleep.
