Where/why did you get your pet?

I think I was in fifth grade. My family and I had just gotten done pet sitting for a cousin’s cat for a year, so me and my sister were very sad that we had to say goodbye to that cat. My parents happened to have a friend whose cat just had a litter, so they decided to adopt Specks.

Anything special or unusual about your pet?

She has had a short tail since the time we got back from a vacation when we found out she had broken it.

Any funny stories?

Once she brought a live bird into the house and I had to play my trombone at her because she wouldn’t stop poking at the bird. Eventually, it got taken back outside by my parents.

What do you like best about your pet?

She doesn’t really care if you pet her. A lot of cats don’t like being around people too much, but unless she doesn’t know you, Specks will be warm and cuddly whenever you need it.

How has the pet enriched your life?

It’s just nice having a presence in your house and life that you know won’t judge you or ask you questions. Specks is a great way to relieve some stress.
