So I think I just have to cat killer curse... what do you think?
OK.. Don't get all PETA on me or anything as I am not meaning for anything to happen to the kitties I try to adopt. I want a pet, a pet cat to be exact, but I seriously think that I have a curse that will not allow me to actually keep one. Here is my story.
When I was about 8 years old I brought a kitten home with me on my walk home form school. Spooky was his name. He was an awesome little kitty, used to brush my hair with his claws at night. We moved out on a country road and Spooky decided that in the middle of that road was a good place to sleep. It was not! Needless to say I returned home as my dad was cleaning up the mess that was once Spooky and I was devestated.
We moved back into the city years later (about 14 now) and my friend brought me a little gray kitty as a present. Some how the kitten got outside and we never saw it again. For a while I was done with cats, until I got my own apartment and my neighbors cats had kittens. There was a beautiful cream colored tiger who just strolled right up to me and I knew that was the kitty for me. Within two months Honey was sick, throwing up everywhere. I took her to an emergency vet who diagnosed Honey with FIV and put her to sleep. What a sad day that was. So within a month or two I got Pumpkin and Shadow. Pumpkin got into a poisonous plant (those things should come with warnings) and ended up being severlly messed up from it. I moved back into my parents house to go back to college and Shadow and Pumpkin both got out. I searched and searched and posted pics and looked at the shelter but they were just GONE!!!
Fast foward a few more years. My daughter was born. And my aunts kitty had babies. So I adopted Sweetie, and within a week a big metal fan fell on her when we were out and we came home to find her dead. Then there was Tigger and No Name. No name is said to have escaped while I was at work and Tigger got out months later. I got him back after a week or so but he wasn't the same. Just kept peeing on himself and wouldn't leave the window sill. About a week later my boyfriend opened are door up and Tigger fled. I tried to get Tigger back but he was just GONE! No one had seen him at all. A year later I decided that this is it. I really want a pet cat and I found the perfect little kitty on Craigslist. My bf and I had just moved into a nice big home and I love pets. My sister has a cat and a dog, my mom has a cat and a dog. Why can't I?? So I make the drive and adopt the kitty. Within a week it is next to my stove dead. No reason, no blood, no vomit. Nothing! Just this past month I got another kitty and the same thing. Just dead within a few days! We pulled out our stove where Squeaker was playing and we found rat poisoning. I am greatful that we rarely let our daughter in the kitchen and am very upset that this poison was in the house but what is going on with me?? Why can I not keep a pet??? Seriously am I cursed????????????????????????????
Supposed to be the cat killer curse, not to. Just noticed.
