I'm really angry right now.
So, we've had this cat that we are "just trying out" and planned to adopt her if she worked out. At first she wouldn't come near anyone and we didn't see her at all, sometimes for days. Recently, she is walking all around the house at all hours of the day! And if you sit on the floor and make friendly hand movements, she will come near you and will just sit with you while you pet her for a really long time, usually until I get bored. Although, she also has this problem where if you are doing this and you scare her, she freaks out and will scratch you. But immediately after she gets you once, she is pretty friendly again. She also used to be feral.
Of course, my mom doesn't want to keep her because she is so unfriendly and scary. It doesn't have to be like that. We've had her about six weeks (so says my mom, but I disagree. I doubt it was this long.) The progress she has made is amazing, and she really is so sweet.
My mom is now really mad at me for wanting to keep her. Apparently, I'm so selfish and spoiled for wanting a cat nobody else wants. Not my fault they don't try... at all. She has tried maybe once. Maybe.
She will get better. I know it. She has such great potential. And my mo wants this kitten who I really doubt will ever be friendly. She isn't old enough to leave her mom yet, and a lot of people would expect her to be scared. But, when you see all her brothers and sisters begging for attention and being so nice and friendly, you'd think she would too. I just think that's how she is, and whenever we pick her up she is meowing and meowing and meowing. The other kittens just hang out in your arms.
I just don't know what to do...
I think she just jumped up on the counter and my mom yelled at her. Great. Another reason.
And she was talking about me. Fabulous.
