Nicole As A Kitten
Nicole was born an outdoor farm cat. She lived outdoors in a building with a heated and insulated house for pets, a small heater, and a heated water dish. Her parents were Onyx, my resident Tom cat, and Lizzie, a cat I had adopted. Lizzie and Onyx had four kittens: Conrad, Peter, Nicole, and her twin sister, who died at birth. They lived in the heated outdoor building until they were about six months old and became house cats. Nicole and her brothers did not like to be handled. Finally, Conrad tamed down, and he became one of my housecats. Nicole never really trusted humans her entire life. I cared for her and made sure she had all of her shots. Nicole enjoyed playing with her siblings, her mother’s tail, and various cat toys throughout the house. She was a very energetic kitten.
Nicole, As An Adult Cat
Nicole looked like a purebred British shorthair cat. She was a very long and lean cat. She took after the Siamese in her shape and build. She would always look at me from a distance as she was a very aloof cat. She would pose for the camera on occasion. Addi and Peter had five kittens, and Aunt Nicole was an excellent babysitter. Nicole would play with the kittens and had a lot of patience with them. She developed a cauliflower ear and lost part of her ear. I took her to my Vet, but nothing could be done to save the tip of her ear. Nicole did not like going to the Vet and would bite me or a friend. She meant business when she bit you. Nicole preferred to be left alone and do her own thing, which I did. I would give her cat treats, but she never learned that I did everything for her well-being.
Nicole As A Cat Getting Older
She lost fur on her ears and preferred to sleep in a heated cat building. I took her to my Vet, who gave her a physical. She had no fleas, so it must have been a skin allergy. She always got along fine with my other cats, and she would eat a little catnip now and then along with my other cats. She enjoyed it when I pampered her with Hartz Squeesables and Fancy Feast Little Soups. Nicole started to lose weight, and I gave her extra food. Nicole had recently begun to self-mutilate herself. She would have open wounds on her that bleed, and then they would heal up, and then she would start opening up the wounds again. I could not stand to see what she was doing to herself, so I made an appointment with my Vet to have her put to sleep. My Vet said I made the right decision. I could not have treated her because she would have bitten me, and I could not handle that repeatedly, and sometimes skin ointments do not help. I never want to see a cat of mine suffer unnecessarily. God bless Nicole with her cat family in heaven. She has her mother, father, sister, and many ancestors with her now.
