I found her under my mother's porch as an abandoned, hungry, frightened 5 week old kitten. At that time, I was able to fit her entire body in my hand! I was several states away from where I live, so I took her to the vet to get checked out. After she got a clean bill of health, I brought he back home with me. This was almost five years ago. We quickly became best buds! She is oftentimes not very nice, especially to strangers but I chalk it up to pediatric PTSD and I love her all the same.

Sometimes they are that shade of yellow, and sometimes they are green. I don't know what it depends on.

[–] SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Neat! My guess would be the lighting

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I never actually thought of that but that is a very solid answer.

What an incredible colour her eyes are!

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Sometimes they are bright yellow, and sometimes they are subdued green. I have no clue what that is dependent on though.

She’s such a beautiful little one. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a loving home.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

She saved me too, honestly!

AWWWW! Trauma babies hav to be fierce! But I'm sure she loves you too.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

She does, and I know it. When she's not busy being mean, she is incredibly sweet. Lol

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

She's lovely!

Yes, very clearly an absolute menace to be kept at bay! 🤪

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

She is 100% trouble, for sure. 😁

Great cat. But a little disappointed - I was expecting legendary mischief stories.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha, no. She hasn't tried to take over the world yet....to my knowledge.

[–] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 month ago

Key word: yet haha

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Awww. Thank you for giving her majesty a loving home. Even if she is a little mean, she still deserves a loving home.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, definitely! I believe that every living being deserves basic shelter, food, water, etc. The necessities.

You evil, woke antifa terrorist!

[–] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 month ago
