Plus One in the Family.

Author: SequoiaCats, dogs, birds, hamsters, rabbits and, fishes never fail to capture my attention and heart as well. It's always been in my personality since I was younger to care for these kind of animals. I dunno but I just can't resist their cuteness. My love for the animals made me prone to my mom's scolding back then. You can't blame her, because most of the time, I bring an animal with me (mostly a puppy or a kitten) whenever I come home from school. And yes, our house before looks like an animal shelter.
I can still recall the time when I was heading home from the school (I was high school that time) and saw a poor little kitten in the sidewalk while crying non-stop. I tried to fight with myself and ignore the poor creature but my conscience won't let me do that heartless action. I came back to the area where the kitten is situated and decided to take it with me. That time, we already have 4 cats, 3 dogs, 2 gold fish, and a bird in the house. When my mom saw what I am carrying again, I saw how her brows meet and gave me a death glare. The good thing is that, my mom is a pet lover as well and she couldn't resist it. She'll just get mad for almost an hour and then feed the kitten after. Sometimes, she would even talk to them as if they can understand her.
Having a lot of animals in our house isn't that big deal actually for her. However, she's worried that we might not be able to feed it and care for it properly if I keep on adopting new ones. But thankfully, we didn't experience such shortage of food.
And yes, I am still adopting homeless cats and dogs until today. But I already know my limitations and what to do with the animals that I can no longer bring with me. Sometimes, just to give them a home, I would ask some of my pet lover friends to adopt it and I am glad that some of them did.
To make things shorter, I did it again.
Yes. You read it right. We have a new member of the family and I named it Leo.
Who wouldn't be hypnotize by that sparkling and tantalizing pair of orbs? Isn't he cute? Well, for those of you who are asking, the grandmother of the baby that I am babysitting gave this to me. They aren't a fan of cats. And who am I to reject such cutie? I brought it with me and feed it. I am planning to buy a kitten's milk for it since it is still a one month and a half old.
But there's this one young lady that didn't like what I did. And she was not my mom. It was no other than, Leah the great, my spoiled kitten.
She's mad at me and would run away everytime I will attempt to go near her. She's jealous. Anyways, for those of you who didn't know, Leah was from my boyfriend.
And we have other kitten in the house which happens to be an adopted as well. Her name is Jin. It was my aunt who gave that name.
At the moment, we have 5 cats, 3 kittens, 2 dogs, and fishes. That's why, I have to work hard to give them their needs as well. Being a furmom isn't an easy job. It's like having a lot of kids. I get tired at some point, but I would never stop from loving them. They add extra color to my life and they give me so much joy in this chaotic world. They are my rest and stress reliever.
