Meet Jasmine

100

This is "my" kitty. Her name is Jasmine and she's about 2 years old. We found her at the pound and they guessed she was almost 1 when they took her off the cold streets in the middle of winter.

She lives with my mother-in-law currently, but she is secretly mine. One of these days I will kidnap her and not tell anyone. Her disappearance will be such a mystery! Although, revealing my plan may not work out since my mother-in-law will be reading this...

When we first got her, Steve and I were living with his parents because we had just moved into town and needed a place to stay. When we got her, she was very sick. She wouldn't eat or drink anything. My in-laws were going out of town, so my husband and I took care of her. We had to mix wet food with water and then force her to swallow it with an eye dropper. I think her illness was made worse because the pound did surgery on her to fix her (a requirement for all that are adopted) even though she was so sick. Since we were force feeding her, she started to regain her strength and started eating/drinking on her own and she has been healthy ever since.
This second picture is the same week we took her home.

Her neck is shaved because she also got a microchip.

I absolutely adore her. She is cute and crazy. She has a very unique personality and I wouldn't trade her for anything! Sometimes, when she looks at you she is slightly cross-eyed and it makes me laugh every time.

102

Unless there is food in front of her, she comes every time I call her.

103

She’s very playful. She'll play with just about anything. A ball, a laser, string, squeaky mouse toys, a peanut that fell on the kitchen floor, a box... anything.

104

She eats bugs if she notices them and I hate bugs. So that's perfect! Protein is good for her.

105

She’s a clepto. She steals things off the end table and you never see them again. Things like bottle caps. God forbid you leave jewelry lying around. We have no idea what she does with them... I'm sure she has a secret stash somewhere full of all kinds of things.

106

She sleeps in the strangest positions.

107

She'll sleep on anything... even shoes!

108

She talks to me. I can have full conversations with her. She is very agreeable and tells me exactly what I want to hear.

109

She’s very loving. If I'm holding her close to my face and just giving her attention, she licks my cheeks. She loves me and I love her.

110

Everything is exciting to her. Boxes, shelves, laundry baskets... if she can climb in it or on it, she is a happy kitty.

111

She loves being in my lap. She's an attention-hog and gets mad when I ignore her for too long.

112

Like I said, she's cute and crazy, but I absolutely adore her!
