Now, smol kitty
Little Mina is Shredder’s little adopted sister. She was the runt of the litter, and was taken from her mother too young. I didn’t do the taking, but I accepted her once it had been done.
The runt of the litter, or the screwed-up cat that needs special help, always gets my heart.
Because I cared for her when she was so wee, Mina really does seem to think of me as a parent. She is singularly devoted and trusts me completely. With others she’s very shy and takes a long time to be comfortable around them.
I’ve never met a cat as physically intimate and trusting as Mina.
She’s the other half of the breakfast crew. After his Majesty Shredder leaves my lap for the land of nap, Mina joins me. She pushes her head up for her morning head kisses (26 at a minimum; I have counted).
You should see the two of them chase and play fight. She’s half his size or less and she loves provoking him into rolling and tussling.
When that’s done, Shreds usually gives her an I’m Dominant Over You head grooming with his paw on top of her, and then they sleep next to each other.
Aww! I have two feline Overlords too 🐈🐈⬛🐾
One of my former kitties was the runt of the litter, and became gravely ill at one year old. The after spending thousands of dollars, the vet told us there was nothing we could do. But searching on the internet I found a possible solution, and urged the vet to allow me to try. She thought I was crazy but after 5 days of treatment, our Little One was back to normal. He lived to be 19 and made us so happy. He passed in 2018.
