This
is my gorgeous kitty cat, Hippo. I'd been going around the rescues
trying to find the 'right cat' for ages and had been to see so many. One of
the ladies at the rescue told me that you don't pick a cat, a cat will pick
you. And oh boy was she right! The very second I walked into the pen that
Hippo was in, he looked at me and just came right up to me for a fuss. That
was it, I knew he was my boy. We got him from the cat rescue when he was 11
months old and it only took him a few days before he was ruling our house!
He's got the name Hippo after watching Breakfast at Tiffanies. The cat in the
movie is called 'cat' so we said when we get a cat we should call our cat
'cat' or to confuse it 'dog' then we joking said "or hippo." And that was it,
the name was set!
He truly is the best (in my non-biased opinion) kitty in the world. He loves
to play, especially hide and seek under the bushes. He's a very loving and
generous cat and often brings us lots of presents from kitchen sponges to
live birds, to dead unidentifiable things!
He loves to sleep and nap especially if he can get to my office chair before
I do. I often find him curled up on it and I just don't have the heart to
move him! Or if he's not on my chair, a cardboard box is his next choice,
despite us having bought him lots of lovely soft fluffy beds!
One of the things I love best about him is he always comes up to bed at night
time and nudges me for midnight cuddles, before he falls fast asleep, usually
on his back with his legs in the air! He's such a cutie with his little pink
nose and I love him probably more than I should!! We even had an 'icing
Hippo' on our wedding cake!
He's made our house a proper home and I'd be lost without him.
