Baby
It was October, 3rd 2003, my 15th birthday. Homecoming at school, some friends and I got out early. A friend of mine takes me to her friends house, I had never met her.She lived in a trailer, with her mom, two children, and two animals. One of those animals was Damen (Baby as we now call Him). When we got into the house it was covered in trash, the dog smelled, but it was fat, so that meant it probably ate well. But there was a kitten in the four foot kitchen. A gate blocked him from getting out. He was too weak to do anything. The old owner told me her son would throw him in the corner and urinate on him, but she didn't care, "she didn't care what he did." So, she asks if any of us want a cat, everyone said no except me, I said, my mom probably would not let me have it. So I'm leaving the house, it smells horribly bad in there. Beer cans and food all over. Then she threw the kitten over the gate, he was about three months old, as skinny as a twig, and FILTHY. I was leaving, the cat was trying to get out to. I asked,"can he go outside", the mother of the girl says, "I don't care what Damen does." So I'm running home, I want that cat. I live 90 feet away from the trailer court. I'm asking my mom if I can have him, she says no at first then agrees to see him. My sister runs to the trailer, I told her where they lived and she came back. It was like he was really happy to get out of there, because he didn't squirm or move a lot like he usually does. After my sister gets home my mom is SHOCKED at how he looks. We feed him a can of canned cat food, he PUSHES my female cat, who is now a year in June, a month older, and smaller then him by a lot away from even getting to the can. He was THAT hungry. After he ate, had his fill, we gave him a bath in Dawn hand soap. He actually enjoyed it. So now he's clean, and he uses the LITTER BOX, which we did not know. He has had the long term affect on him though. Since, he was so badly neglected, he eats hair ties and other odd objects and throws them up. My other cat Pepsi, does not do anything but play with them. We got him fixed and declawed a couple of months ago. Now he is FAT, HEALTHY, and HAPPY. Pepsi is his girlfriend. They do EVERYTHING together. I think without us he would have died. He is spoiled and just like a young child. We named him Baby because when he cries to go outside or to play he sounds just like one. He also knows how to fetch, SIT!, and he loves laying on laps. When he purrs it makes everyone feel better. I am glad we got Baby, we should have reported the owner, but it's too late, no proof! But they sure don't know what they are missing out on. A very wonderful loving cat..--From trash to our treasure...
