Ginger is her name. She is a beautiful Ginger cat. Ginger was a stray cat that decided that she wanted to life in our house. She arrived at this conclusion on the 11th of April 1997. My brother and I were out that evening. My parents were eating pink salmon when suddenly a cat jumped over the front door and into the house. ( The door is one of those that are split into half, so you can keep part of it open and part of it closed. ) Anyway she got some of the salmon.. she gobbled it down.
When my brother and I got home we were told that we got a cat. She was very skinny and hungry. I gave her some tuna and she ate all that and another half tin.
We eventually found out that she used to live around the block from us. The people who got her decided to move out and left her behind. She had been roaming around for about 2 years.
Anyway she wouldn't let us touch her or anything so my mom took her to a vet and she found out that someone had kicked her and she had several broken ribs and she had pnuemonia.
She is now a healthy 6 kilogram cat. Her personality took forever to come out, but she is such a wonderful cat now and so loving!
On the 14th of February 2001 I got a new kitten. She is a tortoise shell, black, white and ginger. On my first cat page you will be able to see what has happened!!!
Ginger eventually passed onto the next world in March 2006. My cat Matilda has stayed at my Aunts house. In May I got another kitten. He was born in December 2005 and was from a animal welfare organisation. His name is Squeaky and he is very sweet, but naughty at the same time. I love him to bits. I don't see much of Matilda. I asked my Aunt if I could have her back when Ginger died, but she didn't want to give her back to me.. it was a hard pill to swollow, but what's done is done and there is not much I can do to change things.
