* Based on the birthday that the shelter staff gave us, which probably isn't the most accurate, but we're going with it anyway.
In honor of the occasion, I thought I would dedicate today's post to talking all about her. The last time I did that was not long after her adoption. Four months later, it's funny for me to go back and re-read my original post. Some things have stayed exactly the same, but others are totally different.
The biggest change about her in the last 4 months is that she's all grown up now! She was only 7 lbs when we first got her and looked considerably smaller than the average-sized cat. Lately I noticed that she was looking bigger, and at her recent vet visit, she weighed in at 9.3 lbs, which is pretty average (most domestic cats are between 8-10 lbs). Most likely she has hit her full adult weight, and now we just need to work on maintaining it through portion control.

Every cat owner probably thinks this about their cat, but Catniss really is awesome. She's so sweet and affectionate. She could just sit in my lap or on my chest for hours. She likes to follow me everywhere, even to the bathroom! She loves being petted, is generally obedient, doesn't scratch furniture, and never tries to run out the door. She's quite calm most of the time, even around strangers. I didn't know what to expect when we first adopted her, but she's exceeded my expectations.
Happy birthday to sweet Catniss!! She sounds like the perfect companion :)
ReplyDeleteShe's a nice kitty. Of course she can be naughty too, but I figured I'd stick to the good stuff on her birthday. ;)
DeleteCatniss is super cute. She looks like she has a lot of personality.
ReplyDeleteShe really does! I was surprised by that at first. Since she's my first cat, I thought everything she did was common to all cats, but it turns out they're Catniss specials. For example, lots of cats wiggle their butts before they pounce, but she likes to raise one paw and wiggle up and down as well as side to side, haha.
DeleteWell, now I'm all caught up about Catniss, haha. She is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, she is! Next time I'll write a post about all the funny/naughty things she does.
