My
family decided to bring Felix home only a day after we were told about him.
We didn't know that he was infested with fleas, or whether he had any
diseases. We just knew that he needed a better home then the garage he was
being kept in.
Felix was thrown out of his mother's home when he was very young, because his
mom's owner didn't want kittens anymore. After that, he was picked up by a
girl whose father was allergic to cats. It was right about now that he earned
the name Captain Paco. From there, he went to a friend of my sister's house,
but Felix and the existing pets didn't get along, not to mention Felix's
fleas. Thus, he was sent to the garage. My dad wasn't too pleased about
getting another cat (we already had two), but I convinced him it was for the
best.
A trip to the vet and one flea comb later, Felix was ready to be introduced to
the rest of the pets. They all tolerated each other, with a few hisses here
and there. He was really scared and timid at first, but now that he's gotten
used to my house he's like a completely different cat.
He now enjoys spending the days playing with various cat toys, eating, and
taking naps on my lap. He also loves to watch the Detroit Red Wings play
hockey with my dad. His temporary dad, my sister's friend, comes to visit and
see how his "Captain Paco" is doing. Oh, did I mention he likes to eat?
He came to us unexpectedly and under strange circumstances, but I don't think
anyone regrets taking him on in any way.
