Just About Jacks

People who are planning on buying or adopting a cat should be aware of several things. First of all, depending on its breed, hair could be a problem. Second of all, your couch and armchairs could be in trouble. They love sharpening their claws on them. And lastly, you need to know that it needs to have a clean litter box, at all times.

After me and my girlfriend went over everything we could find about cats, we decided to get a Birmanese kitten. It was quite scared at first, and wouldn’t play with us, but after a couple of days, my girlfriend finally convinced it we were friendly and it started playing with us. The only problem was it was very curious, and nothing in the house was safe from it.

Nothing really means nothing. My couch was almost ruined by its claws, and my CDs were destroyed. Its claws really would sink into anything it could find, and if it had no food in its bowl, the kitchen table would become its new playground.

Unfortunately, another item that fell to its claws was my iriver clix 2gb. I really loved that thing and considered it to be one of the best things I’d bought. Even though my girlfriend found it funny how I found it chewed up in a corner, I was determined to give the kitty away. Until she bought me a new player and I wasn’t mad anymore.

I’ve started keeping all my important things inside a locked desk, and consider anything left outside scratch-resistant. So does my kitty, probably, because It really puts it to the test. Having full reign of the house, my kitty now thinks its more important than me. My girlfriend seems to think so too!
