Hi my lovelies!
Have I ever told you that I was a dog lover ever since I was a kid? I know many of you here are dog lovers too. I loved them so much that the idea of having a cat never crossed my mind. Not that I hate cats or anything, but I am just not used to taking care of cats now that I know so much about dogs.
Yes you are right, if you can read my mind, this article is not about dogs. It is about Amber.
This is Amber, my first ever cat. Boop that nose!
My Dad mentioned about having a cat to get rid of bugs or pests around the house. You know, they have the speed, the claws and they are feisty.
I got anxious by the idea because we already have 3 dogs and the idea of having a chaotic home because of animal fights is not my cup of tea. I want peace and harmony and knowing that a cat, or another species will be added, I just couldn’t bear the chaos it may bring.
Small. Just look at her.
We adopted her from our Auntie and spayed her right away. She is a 3 year old Munchkin cat with a tortoiseshell pattern. She has tiny, tiny legs and a very bold, sassy personality.
Can you see her attitude? She gives a mean side eye!
Our Aunt has many cats already and one way to help her is to adopt one. So she chose Amber to give. Oh and my Dad changed his mind at the last minute thinking we can’t have a cat because surely you have to maintain their litter and surroundings. It’s too late. She is ours now and we have lots of love to give.
It’s a blurry pic but I love this one. My Dad and Amber have the same eyes now.
It took her a while before she adjusted to her new home and to new people. Yes I received a lot of scratches and wounds from her claws. Things I never experienced before being the owner of 3 beautiful dogs.
Just like Amber, it took me a while as well to adjust. I have to do research about cats, their food, behavior, temperament and cleaning hacks and solutions. I know some of what I mentioned is basic to cat owners but as a new cat mom, I was haunted. She peed everywhere, got lost in the dark, hid anywhere, bit and scratched us. I also had to try everything to get rid of the smell. I asked my friends, been on every search engine and rely on different apps for videos. I am sensitive to smell and just can’t sleep thinking about the next step to freshen up the air.
That one tip my friend told me that can get rid of the smell is TIME. It did.
Now she knows when I am about to open the door. This is her so focused on the door knob.
Just look at those big eyes!
She roams around the neighborhood. She knows how to come back home. One thing that I was so afraid of before, that she might get lost and I won’t know what to say to her previous owner , my Auntie.
Well I know you know how Aunties can be. Just like cats they can be feisty!
Thankfully she is a very smart cat. She responds to my calls and she meows at the door when she wants to get outside and do her business. She has different meows when she cannot find me, another meow when she is telling me her water bowl is empty, and another when she wants pets.
She also knows when I am about to study.
I can’t even flip my notes! Look how comfortable she is in my arms.
I would never forget the first night she slept beside me. I thought I would never be as close to a cat than my dogs.
This is her when I scolded her one time when she brought me a dead mouse.
Yes it was big. She waited for me to wake up and my family said that she would never drop the mouse from her mouth, until I woke up.
I know, she was ever so proud. It’s an offering, a royal gift for me, a token of her undying and relentless loyalty.
Yes of course I thanked her and I half appreciated it.
Another side eye! We can never have enough. Please tell me you noticed her cropped top, pink with mushrooms.
Oh and did I tell you she loved belly rubs? I was surprised. It is because in my short term research, I concluded that cats don’t like their bellies to be touched, a disrespect perhaps.
Amber disagreed and judged me for late belly rubs.
Just look at those short paws!
That nose of life.
So, there’s that. I became a cat mom out of nowhere. I am glad I did. Amber is the sweetest and I am thrilled that I now know her behavior and a lot more about cats. I became open and flexible about owning a pet other than dogs.
I am ever proud of pet lovers, taking care of fur babies is not a piece of cake as well. We can always differentiate a pet owner and a pet lover. Having them is always worth our time and our life.
Thank you all for reading!
Sending all my love and Amber’s ,
Jani,

Ahhh, just like me. I am actually a dog lover too. I am not that fond to a cat as they are a little you know, they just poop everywhere and it stink my gosh. But, I learned to like them after experiencing having them. Now we have a lot of cat and it's all chaos in the house when they are all together, lol. Anyways, your Amber looks pretty and feisty, and she has attitude I can tell hahaha. But they are cute being like that so ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ meow.
This is all so true, my dear. The smell always knocked me off guard. But we learn to go around it as well hehe 🥰
Right, for the love of our catto ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I'm glad you two found each other :) Why did she have a shirt on???
This post has been manually curated by the VYB curation project
The main purpose of her shirt is to hold her belly that is super close to the floor. But it’s too late that I realized it is a crop top haha! 🤧😭
Oh, because it protects her from scrapes? That's a good idea :)

Amber the short legs, but super cutieee. I miss playing with her already, but I guess I won't be welcomed by her anymore if we meet again. The last time we played, she's upset. Hahahaha!
Amber chose violence over frienship. After she ruins your pretty hands, then you will be friends forever 😁😂
I love cats, it's a beauty that one you show us
Loved them too 🥰🥰
The short legs is a breeding tactic used by breeders for god only knows what purpose. Cats need to be able to be nimble.
Cats have whiskers all over their bodies so anything, outside of a collar prevents them from sensing things around them as they should. As far as belly rubs, a cat will expose it's most sensitive body parts to those it trusts.
And the reason she behaved the way she did when you first got her is because she was scared. Cats will lash out and or hide in unfamiliar settings and situations. I recommend you watch The Kitten Lady and Jackson Galaxy on youtube.
Yes I have them on my watch list, loved them
As well, helped me a lot! 🥹
Interesting story of this pet. Greetings
Thank you! My dear friend ❤️
Amber is amazingly beautiful!! I love the picture with the mean eye, hehe. She is very expressive!
She is very classy as well, has routines and she is free to judge me all she wants 😁😅
A dog is a loyal animal but on the contrary I like cats a lot because they are innocent and the pictures of cats you have taken really look very beautiful.
Thank you so much! They are indeed gifts from heaven 😊🥰❤️
How beautiful Amber looks and that pink top is so cute on her, I love the way she looks out of the corner of my eye.
Thank you, it has mushrooms on the design. Originally purposed to hold her belly that is very close to the floor hehe 😭😁

Hi, I have almost the same cat as you! Rakke singing the last verse. Rakke is 18 years old deaf and blind and demented. That particular drawing on a cat is quite unusual, so I think Rakke and Amber are spiritually related to each other.
Nice cat
Send my love to Rakke 🥰 I am sure she/ he is grateful for all your love. Yes their pattern is unusual, to some means they are bewitched and to some it means they are lucky. Most cats with these pattern live a long and happy life . 🥰🥰
Your cat is so cute! I also owned a cat, however I feel like she doesn't like me, she's just so stubborn.
