12 Wishes my cats have of the future"Owners"
-
My life expectancy is 10 to 20 years. Every separation from you will cause me suffering, please think about this before you take me.
-
Allow me enough time to get used to you and to understand what you expect from me.
-
Trust me, I live from this.
-
Never lock me as a punishment. You have your work, your pleasures and your friends - I only have you.
-
Talk to me. Even if I can't understand you, it's your voice which I recognize and gives me comfort.
-
Always know how I am treated, I won't forget it. Never let me out alone I could be stolen, run away, tortured or shot.
-
Consider that if you hit me, I could easily defend myself and could scratch or bite you, but I am not in the habit of doing this.
-
If you sometimes think I am unwilling or stubborn, please remember that I am an independent animal, which can never be completely subordinate to you.
-
If for whatever reasons, you are unable to keep me and have to give me away, don't be afraid to call Annette. She will help you to find a suitable new home for me. Don't just give me to anyone. Please don't ever do that to me.
-
Look after me when I get old one day!
-
Do accompany me even through the hardest times and never say "I can't be here to look" or "I don't want to be there when it happens". Never leave me alone, take me in your arms and hold me, for then everything will be easier for me, even to go across the rainbow bridge.
-
If you have bought me as a breeding cat, I hope I will be able to give you lots of beautiful kittens. Please think about all previous parts especially number 9. If you decide to have me neutered I still wish to spend the rest of my life as a happy cat and not to be discarded to someone else.
