You
are looking at the glamorous and beautiful Chloe. Her royal title is
Princess Pork Chop of Woodview. She has many aliases: Chloe Bell, Chlo
Chlo, Girly Girl, Chloe E.Q, and Sissy (just to name a few)!
Can you believe this beautiful cat was abandoned at the SPCA??!! They
literally could not tell us anything about her background. We didn't
care, we wanted her! We had just buried our very very beloved Roscoe
the day before we got our new babies. I didn't think I could let myself
love a new cat so soon, but it turned out to be the right decision. I
had Roscoe literally from birth (which I assisted at!!) and he grew up
with me, went to college, moved a few times and settled in a most
spoiled life until the age of 16 1/2 when he succumbed to cancer. He was
sick for just a brief time but it was so hard. I was in such grief but
was also at peace because Roscoe was so ill in the end. My husband (the
former cat hater)! insisted that we look because he knows our house (and
his wife) needed a cat. Well, we ended up getting his and her cats!
Harley was ten weeks at the time and just a wild kitten. On the other
hand, I fell in love with Chloe when she looked at me, softly meowed and
put her paw out for me. It was all good until we got home and let the two
of them loose. It was obvious that Chloe was not used to other
cats. Unbeknownst to us, she was also a very sick little girl. We took her
to the vet for her initial checkup and they took her temp (107 degrees)!
and whisked her away to start intravenous treatment. The vet said she
would have died the very next day. I really believe that divine
intervention was at hand and that Roscoe died when he did so that Chloe
could be saved.
The first few months were hard on everyone. Chloe was scared and shy.
She had a baby brother that loved to ride her like a jockey. She hated
to be held. With lots of love and patience, however, her true
personality came out. She is so comfortable now and demands love and
pets with her insistent meows (always at 4 AM on the dot) She sleeps
wrapped around our heads. She is no longer the very scared girl she
first was when we got her. She, in fact, rules the house! Every morning
I wake up, she had 3/4 of my pillow and my head is hanging off! She has
her paws in the air, purring away and catching the breeze from the fan.
spoiled little girl cat is what my husband calls her! She loves when I
whistle, this makes her do a stop and flop where she plops over and lays
on her back with her paws in the air. It is the funniest thing! She also
says "thanks for hanging in with me" when she gazes in our eyes, purring
loudly and meowing. And this girl cat will do almost anything for a
treat. She even trained us so that we have treats in our master
bathroom. In the morning while getting ready for work, she always stands
on the scale (typical girl) and whines for them!
Chloe loves her toy box. I am sure she never had catnip toys before we
adopted her. She goes crazy with them, although she is not at all
graceful!
Chloe is special to us because she did fill a hole left by Roscoe. She
has become so much more than that now and we think of her as our special
furbaby. We love her!
