A few years ago, my family moved into a new house. We had no pets at the time and my mother, who is as much of an animal lover as I am, decided we could go look at the wanyama they had in our local shelter. Well I went down a row of cages where they were holding Cats and I found Leon. His sheet alisema he was 2 years old and he was a light machungwa, chungwa tabby. For some reason, we just clicked and I convinced my mom to adopt him. It was pretty funny when we got him nyumbani and realized that they hadn't neutered him, lol. But we also noticed he had a bad leg. So after taking him back to the shelter to get fixed (No, we didn't give him back :P), we took him to the vet to see what was going on with his leg. We found out 2 things: 1) He was like 6, not 2. And 2) His left hip had been injured a while go and never healed properly, probably an injury sustained from being kicked kwa someone. Well Leon, who I called my little lion, became my buddy. And to this day, my mother still stands kwa her opinion that he chose me, I never chose him and I was very much his person. We had him for a little over two years before he got sick. We weren't really sure what happened, but it will be two years this January that we had to put my Leon down. I still cry when I think about him, I'm tearing up as I'm uandishi this. But I am comforted in the fact that we got to give him his last few years in a loving nyumbani and that I was able to be there for him in his last moments. A mwaka later, I found my baby girl, Aspen, in my boyfriend's mom's backyard. She's a beautiful, fluffy kitty with a funny attitude. Aspen is very much the Queen of the house and she is very proud (you can see it in the way she carries herself). She doesn't like other wanyama au most other people, but she took a liking to my boyfriend and I. She's about a mwaka and a half, and possibly part Maine Coon. Her hobbies include laying in sinks, demanding attention, and going crazy (especially if we're cooking bacon. Don't know why, but the smell of bacon makes her go crazier than catnip). This summer, we also included a kitten to our little family. We got him when he was a mwezi old. He was found kwa someone else and they couldn't find the mother, but they couldn't keep him. His name is Louie and he is now a little over four months. Louie's hobbies include eating everything, harassing Aspen, and playing with his best bud, our half-Lab/half-Rottweiler doofus named Dozer. :) Pictured: Leon.♥
