A year ago about this time ago, there I was, everything seemed to be going well. I was about a year old and mom and I were doing great. She got a new b/f though and wasn't around as much as I liked so then she thought bringing home a kitten would be good for me!? No way! She was such a little brat, cute? sure but a nuisance nonetheless.

I'm getting off track here, but I ended up getting really really sick. I got these crystals in my urine and there was nothing the vets could do for me. I went from vet to vet. Mommy cried and kept shelling out money. She just couldn't part with me. Finally when she was about to give up she took me away from my normal vet to pet guards which is a nonprofit organization that offers more affordable care and guess what, they were more caring too. Instead of having mom shell out money on things that didn't work and telling her that the only thing she could do was an expensive surgery that may or may not work and that would change my gender... um excuse me? They told her that a prescription diet may work and it did! Thank you Pet Guards! You saved my life and not to mention a very uncomfortable unnecessary surgery had mom actually shelled out the money for that.

All and all this has been a lot better of a year and I'm a lot happier and healthier and Zeppy and I are somewhat of buddies now. It's more of a love/hate relationship. Some days she's ok and others she drives me up the wall. I chase and pounce her once in a while just so she knows who's boss and mom's favorite... shhhh don't tell mom, she'd deny it! She knows it's true though! Zeppy may have the looks, but I have the personality!
