Moggie Madness

Rosie is a silver tabby that I rescued from Animal Welfare League this year in February. I thought Mojo could do with a playmate, having spent most of his life with other animals in the house, albeit dogs previously. I figured if he can get on just dandy with not just one dog living with him, but another dog visiting almost daily, then he would probably appreciate a feline companion. Plus as Leigh at Crazy Meezer can identify - I wanted one that liked me the most rather than other members of my family.

So I go on down to AWL at Helensvale, with the instructions that I could get another kitty providing it was a) an adult and b) fairly dark in colour as my other half was getting just a little sick of pulling all the white Mojo hair off his clothes. Well Rosie is kind of dark in colour I guess. She must have spotted me for a sucker from the moment I walked in the enclosure, she popped her paws up on my shins and when I sat down, jumped straight up and gave me a lick on the chin. How was I to resist such cuteness?

So home we go to meet Mr Mojo….to say they got on like a house on fire when they met would be…..well a bald-faced lie. There was a fair amount of hissing and spitting (particularly from Mojo) but Rosie being the sweet innocent kitty that she is was not to be deterred. She made herself at home quite nicely albeit keeping a watchful eye out for any sudden attacks. While I don’t think that they’ll ever be snuggle buddies, they have formed an uneasy kind of truce. Actually I think they make quite a good pair….her sweetness tends to dilute his narkiness somehow. LOL
