   Hello, my name is Gurr :) The first time I saw my human mama it was a rainy day, she and my cat sister Petra, saw me running inside the garbage room downstairs, so mama came with a can of food that I appreciated since I was wet, skinny looking and starving. She fed me many times a day and in the night she came downstairs for me to sleep on her lap ... since that moment she understood I wanted to adopt her, but both her and papa were afraid my sister Petra would be affected by my coming since she is a diabetic and not young. After a couple of weeks a neighbor took me to a refuge and after a week I thought my parents had forgotten about me and I would never see them again :( But, one day they came to visit and I told them I missed them and I wanted to go home with them, and after that I take part of their lives. I'm not going to deny I'm a bit hyperactive and I run and jump all over the apartment making noises but they understand that I'm just putting some life to their lives (I hope).

    I love my parents feet ... and the only moment I can enjoy playing with them It's during the night when I jump to bed and hold them while I bite and claw them. It's just how I show my affection so I don't understand why do they complain about it. I also help my mama to cook so sit on the kitchen bench to eat everything she puts on the frying pan (including drinking the oil). They can't have any complaint about me :) Petra loves me too, even when she is a bit strict with me, especially when I jump on top of her and surround her with arms and legs. I understand that she runs away from me sometimes, it must be hard receiving so much love from me. And, that is more or less my story ... ah! I forgot to explain the origin of my name, since I can't say "meow" the only thing I scream all the time is GURRRR.
