We
got Yuki from a farm, so he isn't a pure breed. Just your regular
domesticated cat. He's from Drenthe, a province in The Netherlands. What
makes him special is his cute face and loving personality. He's an outdoor
cat, but loves to come inside for attention and naps.
We had scary incident last fall. He disappeared in October and was gone for
almost a whole week. It was awful, we were scared we lost him. On the sixth
day, in the morning, we heard a faint meow from outside. We immediately
looked outside to find Yuki, skinny and hopping around on three legs. His
left hind leg just hanging there. The poor thing was in an awful condition,
we took him to the vet after we fed him. The vet told us he might needed to
amputate his left hind leg, because his pelvis was broken. He wasn't allowed
to walk around for one and a half month. We put him in a wooden box so that
he couldn't walk around. Needless to say he wanted to get out, he meowed all
day, begging us to let him out.
After a few weeks of waiting, the vet told us an amputation wasn't necessary.
But his tail was half dead, so the vet decided that the tail did have to be
amputated, so he did. In the second picture you can see his little tail, half
the size it used to be. It didn't give him any major trouble, although he was
freaked out by it in the beginning. He didn't suffer from any major injuries
after the accident, besides from his tail and his left hind leg. He's changed
though, he gets scared easily. We suspect he was hit by a car.
Yuki spends most of his time outdoors, sleeping in bushes or catching
mice/birds and leaving them at our front door. However, he loves to come
inside for hugs and naps. He has a special bond with my dad, whenever my dad
comes home from work, Yuki comes with him.
Yuki enjoys attacking our feet and biting cardboard boxes. He's very naughty.
He can open doors on his own, as well as some of the windows upstairs. The
first time we found out we thought there was a burglar in our house, my
bedroom window was open when I was sure I closed it. We found him sleeping in
the hallway, such a cutie. Yuki is not afraid of dogs, contrary, he loves
chasing them. There are days when he craves affection and other days he
spends his time outside. He makes new friends easily, his best friend is the
cat from across the street. His name is Diesel, and he's very sweet, I used
to see him in our backyard every day. He hasn't been around recently, though.
Besides from Diesel, Yuki also spends a lot of time with our other cat,
Mousie, she's seven years old and she doesn't like affection that much. Yuki
likes other cats but doesn't really appreciate strangers in our house. We
love him, he's special.
