I Am Grumpy Cat Beloved Pet
"Pets are a homes . . . invisible soul."
Quote by _Constance
My name is Grumpy, well that's the name My Girl gave me. I don't think I
ever had a name before. I was a street cat, a stray. I found her covered
porch one day and that is where she found me. Admit I was bedraggled!
When she tried to touch me I growled because I was afraid and that's how
I got my name. Over the next days, she left me food and gave me treats.
She had a cat called Fluffy that she took for a walk on a leash. I went too!
In her backyard was a picnic bench and we would all sit there in the sun.
It was so nice. One day she looked at me and said, Grumpy Cat you are
coming inside! So, she scooped me up and carried me inside her home.
I have to admit that I was scared. I ran from room to room looking for
a hiding place. Later, I crawled out from under the bed and ate all of
Fluffy's food, then, pushed her off the rocking chair and slept for a day.
In the morning, My Girl said to me, Grumpy, your need a bath! So, off we
went to the bathtub. I stood like a statue as she washed me four times.
She told me I had lovely fur of multi colors and wrapped me in a towel.
I liked that, she put me on her lap and spoke to me in a soothing voice
and soon, I was sleeping again. That night she took me to bed with her,
and I purred for the first time ever. I sounded like an old engine!
Next, she took me to the VET. Oh, yes it was scary and I tried to make
myself flat on that cold table. The vet stabbed me with sharp things, so
I growled at him, he stuck something in my butt, so I gave him the look!
He told My Girl, that I was about six years old. I went back a few weeks
later for the "operation" if you know what I mean.
I settled into a nice life, playing with Fluffy, following My Girl. Once I
followed her onto a very busy street and often into the corner store.
She had to make sure I was safe inside home when she went anywhere.
But, I have a collar now and a home! I have Fluffy and My Girl and would
never ever leave for the streets again. Have many adventures to share of
this life that I love . . . but, best I do that in other stories yet to come.
