 | |  | | My name is Graffiti and I reside in Ontario Canada. I am Canadian, eh? hehe
I am actually a rescue cat. I was born to a ferrel mother who was rescued shortly after giving birth to me and the rest of my litter mates. They actually didn't even know we were there until they had noticed my mom lactating and new right away there was a liter of kittens out side somewhere. The human rescuerers had come back for us and found us huttled in the corner of a dumped old couch, very cold and scared we were. Anyways, we were re joined with my mom and enjoyed a happy warm and cozy big cage to ourselves. Once we got old enough to be adopted out to human parents we were scattered around to different pet stores and places in our own cage sometimes sharing it with another kitty. My human mom says she fell in love with me as soon as she layed eyes on me. She didn't care I had CH and walked funny, she said it added to my character as a cat and made me even more lovable, which I think is true, everyone that seems to meet me wants to steal me away from my human mom and dad because they seem to fall in love with me too, well what can I say??
Anyways, over the past year I was doing this cough thing, first Mom and Dad thought I was just trying to get up a hair ball, but nothing every came of it. The cough got worse and more fequent so they took me into the vet expecting to hear I had asthma, but my vet told Mom and Dad that I had more then just asthma, a 3rd of 4th stage heart murmur and possible heart disease as well. Since I am a kitty I have no idea really what this meant, but it couldn't be good by how Mom and Dad had reacted. So we going for tests now to see what medications I need to take and I am not looking forward that.
I love everything, there isn't much I don't love, well you have to get me in a REALLY good mood to be able to rub my tummy a little bit, I don't really like it. I love playing fetch with my springs and a string, I will bring it back to you 90% of the time and sometimes play tug of war with you if you try to get the string back. hehe I love going out on the balcony and sun tanning in the sun spots. Even though I can't jump onto window sills because of the CH, Mom and Dad lift me up to look out the window sometimes, but there really isn't much to see when you are looking out from the 6th floor of an apartment building. :p |  |  | |  |

I see her regularly and am so thankful we found her. I hope everyone else is doing well and would love to hear how everyone is doing. Not that we are experts, but let me know if anyone has any questions as we have done A LOT of research on feline HCM! xo, Lewis
