    There are 2 halves to my beloved egg that is Rocky - the other half of his egg is his sister Pagan... They are litter mates, there's a bit of a story - I'll try for the short version - Gen X will understand lol - I had not long seperated from my husband and the last thing I needed was extra mouths to feed, I found out my friends Bro had some kittens (6) and their mother was a gorgeous Persian, YAY Fluffy kittens. The were born in an old rabbit hutch and of the 6, Rocky had never come outside or left the hutch, in fact, they thought he was a bit dongy and were going to find him a gumboot, wtf?! I sat on the grass at the end of the hutch and this tiny white, fat as all hell full of worms, with a heart on his back ngeru came waddling out of the hutch and proceeded to scramble onto my Knee, then out of nowhere came another wee, more grey lil fat ball of fluff, with hearts on the back of her front ankles, she climbed up onto my knee and the 2 lay back to back, all their markings aligned, they are the same egg, I said, these 2 are for me. What? They're the ugly ones, nope, no they are not, they chose me, they are my familiars. I named them right then and there, my girl is Pagan, his full name is Rocky Balboa (Ready Gen X - AAADDDRRRIIIAAANNNNN!!) - she is so much smaller, but she is the boss, I always worried about them being seperated. Their love is eternal.. DOB 30th March 2010. More photos uploaded to pics

  • Day 3

    Rocky was a little bit out of sorts this morning - I've been tricking him and putting his pain killers into some fresh mince, which works eventually, but he's onto me with his eye drops, and they hurt like hell, so he's done the runner. He's been stayig outside more and more, I think it's because he may be able to see out his good eye better in the dark, or he feels more safe. Last night a new king pin contender decided to come up our back steps, and I just heard the scream and the tumble rumble as they went down the balcony. Rocky has been an outside cat his whole life, keeping him inside is difficult, especially when he still thinks he's the man. And yes, he's been fixed. The only other time he's been to the vet in his life was 2010, when he got vaccinations and neutered. So we have been lucky. Update - I have just got him back inside, given him his pain meds, he wasn't having his mince. It's been raining and the old boy is having a nice big wash. When he's finished he'll go and push his head into his snuggy or into someone's feet, apparently it eases the pressure that he feels in his eye and head. So we carry on Whanau and we live and love through another day right. But thank you so much to the beautiful people who have donated toward Rocky so far and thank you for all your prayers - we are actually almost a third of the way there - we've been absolutely amazed and humbled, from Us, Rocky, Pagan (his twin sister) and Kibby - Thank you, Jah Bless.
