He's cute, he's sweet, and he's a purring machine! He's Misha, our new whiskered baby. :)
I've been what they call a "crazy cat lady" since a teenager. In fact, my feline fascination is so big that my friends say I'll get old in a big country house bursting with kitties. Thanks to Wilwarin Designs and all the effort I've put into it, I've managed to save some pennies to sustain a furry buddy - and give it the best life it could possibly have!
Misha is only around 3 months old and he was available for adoption from a local street cat housing project (they're not really an association but more of a group of friends who share the same passion). It's amazing, the amount of animals which are daily abandoned and/or neglected. Knowing how much I love kitties, I just couldn't stand doing nothing about it.
Before finding Misha, I browsed so many adoption websites and replied to so many ads. I was initially looking for a longhaired buddy, because I'm so freaking obsessed with fluffy creatures and my last cat, whom I loved so much and miss even more, had this beautiful and oh-so-smooth long hair. But soon (after a dozen adoption failures) I realized that medium-long haired cats were the most sought ones because most people feel the same way I do (or just like to display them)... So, instead, I decided to put my 'greed' away and just go for a sweet kitty looking for love. And then, I found Misha.
I stumbled on this project's blog the other day and, as I browsed their list of homeless cats, this baby drawed my attention. When I picked up the phone and dialed their number, my hopes weren't actually high at all because I'd heard the sentence "that cat has already been adopted" so many times the last two or three weeks. But not Misha (he had another name before we adopted him but we find 'Misha' much more fitting) - and after a few questions, they let me stay with him.
Despite of not having the looks I was hoping for when I started searching for a cat, I'm so so far from regreting my choice. Misha is truly adorable! His adaptation in the new home and family was nice and quick. After just a few hours, he plays a lot, purrs on my lap, sleeps with me at night and, of course, messes everything up :)) He seems a very happy kitten - and I'm a very happy own- ...pardon me, slave!

I'm now logging off to try to tire Misha, because it's bed time for me and he's still electric. I'm so screwed. :D
Have a great week everyone, and for my north american followers in the east, be safe and believe. "After a storm, a rainbow always appears". My prayers are with you!
Yours,
Ana
