About Saps & Roxanne...

My first cat named Zeus(I miss so much) got unusually sick, started becoming larthargic, and not himself around 8 and half months, he use to open doors by himself, cool cat, well i suspected something got him to a vet, had a rare disease that was taking his life slowly but surely, vet said we have no idea whats happening to him said maybe he ate a bug or something, and tried their best, but there was nothing they could do, so I had to put him down when he was 9months old. Couple weeks later, I got my Roxanne, now 10. I picked her out because she licked me in the face. The owners who had the mother said, she has a hernia, and probably will need special help. I didn't care, I wanted her. I love her, so I treated her hernia, she was a typical cat after that. I got her shots done, made sure she didnt eat any bugs. Well I soon found out she had an neurological disorder that affected her eating, she couldn't get the food in her mouth properly and chew properly either. Well right around the time I got her spayed, she blew up in weight. She went from maybe 6lbs to 16lbs in like two weeks. They said that can happen, I took her to get the rest of her shots, and noticed she lost a lot of her energy. I thought it was normal. She went from 16lbs to 22lbs in weeks after that. I honestly thought i was over feeding her, but i made sure she had plenty of exercise, the vet said put her on a scheduled diet. So I did, she was a typical, bad tempered, no eye contact, only wanted affection when wanted food, twitching, sleeping cat lol.

Well then my boyfriend got this kitten for me(who is now 2 and half years old), for our year anniversary. We went to go pick out the kitten, cuttte as anything. Her sister played with the mother and older sister, while this kitten kinda played in a cardboard box, and kinda ignored everything else going around her. I went to go play with her, she ignored me, the other cats ran after my shoe string, she kinda just jumped in and out of the box over and over and over again. I picked her, they said are u sure? her sister is much more playful and interactive, but I chose her because she was gorgeous. Little did I know she had a lot of neurological problems. She was tinnny, and adorable. My older cat hated her at first, territory thing I guess. She started displaying weird traits, only playing with certian cat toys like tin foil balls, and only liked watching them spin literally spun them and walked around them in circles, i would hold her and she would instantly fight with me unlike my other cat who sorta jus went along with, she acted like i was murdering her, and look away, and when she did look at me, she freaking stareddd like no other. She had a issue where she wanted pressure on her, where if there was somebody about to sit down, she ran under that person just to feel the pressure i guess. She also loved to watch the toilet be flushed hehe. I got her shots so she can be healthy, now right after the shots she started showing aggressiveness to the dogs, which was our puppy whos the same age as her and our older dog whos now 14. If you turned on the fan she went psycho, if you flipped cards by her, she went psycho, she had to have the same food or would throw up. She rubbed her body all over plastic bags, and had to lay on plastic bags had to, she would knock everything out of her way off the table jus to lay on the bag. She would run in circles for hours, has a tail as long as her body, whiskers 6 inches long, a tongue abnormally long, and hairy palms abnormally long. You couldnt ring the doorbell, or get too loud, or have too many ppl in the house, she would attack either the dogs, or a person. I didn't understand what the heck is going on. So I had to spay her, well she gained some weight, and started having problems eating like Roxanne, she chokes on her food and can't properly get it in her mouth. So I bought her oral food thats big in size to help her eat better. She is obsessed with eating anything in her sight even if its ketchup, coffee grinds, pizza, noodles, soup, salad, its crazy. She likes to open and close her paw over and over and over again, likes to grab her tail and shove it in her face and rub her face all over her tail. I honestly dont know whats wrong with her. The vet tells me thats a neurological problem with the cat. I mean heres a cat with balance problems, who is drawn to water, will sit up and sway back and forth for hours literally, gets out of breath real easily, spins all the time, stuff that most normal cats dont do.

We have a somewhat normal cat, Roxanne, who sleeps all the time, doesnt care for ppl, likes to be alone unless hungry, hides during everything, who loves strings, tries to avoid any human contact, and eye contact, etc. And then there is Saps(short for sapphire by the way), who doesnt sleep as much is instead always into something, has to be by people where she likes to hit them with her paw lol, loves to stare, if ppl are in the house she is next to them staring lol, isnt scared of anything except fans lol, prefers tin foil balls or pictures to strings lol, who is drawn to water including our lagoon. Yea can ya tell the difference.

Well i have to say the vet admitted to us my kitten could be diagnosed with autism if there was such a thing, can u believe it, never heard a vet say that before, but could be right. My older cat cant meow, she goes me me me owww its weird lol, and the other kitten screeches insteads of meows like this high pitch meow lol. ITs interesting living with my kitten, she can be a handful, and im sure ur read why.

Oh i also have a 2 and half year dog that has tourettes, ocd, and possible siezures gotta love it hehe.



Well ill be blogging here more about the adventures of Saps and what she gets in to, hope you all enjoy hehe.
