This
is Dina, I named her so because at the time for some reason I
believed the cat in "Alice in Wonderland" was grey with patches for some
reason? It is not, it's a red cat haha oh well, the name Dina suits this
cat well :). She was a stray but has now found a loving home with all of
us. She came to our home about four years ago for the first time, and looked
horrible! She would come and go all winter, we always let her in whenever
she would show up and gave her much love because she seemed so beat up.
She had patches of fur missing, seemed to have a swollen belly, and she
would have cuts on her head. It took a whole season and a half but by the
middle of spring she decided to stick around. She has lived here since and
has healed so well. Her age is unknown but I'm going to guess around eight
years old, maybe? She's older, in any case.
At first my boyfriend thought she wouldn't make it through the winter and
now she seems to have quite a few more years in her, she seems younger
than before! She is a beautiful, loving cat, who looooooves to get her
head scratched. She doesn't like her back to be scratched and I think it
had something to do with her being beat up sooo much before, which is
understandable, so we stick with the head. She and I have a connection,
probably because I show her the most affection. She doesn't meow, ever,
the only time she does is when she sees me :). She runs up to me and meows
once, just to let me know she's there, ready to be loved :P. My
boyfriend's grandma still can't get over how much the cat likes me because
she never hears her meow. She is a great cat to take pictures of, she has
beautiful peach colored patches spread throughout her fur and amazing
yellow eyes. She is a survivor and a loving dear cat.
