I
adopted Taccoa about three years ago from a local rescue. I already had
three other special needs babies. The rescue girls called me and ask if I
want this kitty that walked like she was drunk and her name was Tipsy.
Well, already being a member of Pet Talk, I started contacting a few
members that knew just what this baby had and they helped me with advice
of how to care for Taccoa. So I adopted Tipsy and renamed her Taccoa,
which means "beautiful" in Indian. She is just so special and the love of
my life. See, she is a CH Baby - that means she has Cerebellar Hypoplasia.
She was born with this and it means her Cerebellum is underdeveloped,
meaning she cannot control her movements or motions. However meowmom does
not let Taccoa know she is handicapped.. She gets around with little help
and does to the best of her abilities. And as of this date, I now have
four Very Special CH Babies. I call them God's Gifted Wittle Angels, and I
just Love them so much.
Taccoa's personality is very calm and sweet. She loves
belly rubs and forehead kisses. She loves her pink catnip toy and ball
(note one of the photos with her playing with them). Also she loves to
play with her leopard print wand. She is very affectionate and likes
getting and giving attention.
Now with her CH stiffness she does not like to be held
of any length of time. Keep in mind she can not jump, so you have to pick
her up if you want to hold her. She would prefer you to sit next to her to
love on her. She is very independent. She likes to do things on her own
and if she wants help, she will cry out to you. I know she has opened my
eyes for sure on what a CH baby can and or cannot do. They are for sure
God's Wittle Gifted Angels. I just Love her and the others so much!
