I adopted Ginger from a pound that was out in the country. Ginger was covered in fleas. When I got Ginger home safely, I put a flea dip all over her and washed her with shampoo. Her hair did not take long to recover from the fleas’ damage. Ginger soon had a nice-looking, lustrous coat of fur.
Ginger was an amiable part of Siamese and Himalayan cats. She looked like a purebred Chocolate Point Siamese cat except for slightly longer hair. Ginger loved to sleep in bed with me at night. She was always quiet in bed and never disturbed my sleep whatsoever. She got along fine with dogs and other male cats. I got Ginger spayed and her front claws removed when she was about 14 weeks old. She recovered from the procedure quickly.
Ginger would wake me up at precisely 6 AM every morning. I always had set my alarm for 6 AM before I had Ginger. I no longer had to put my alarm clock with my trusty cat Ginger watching for me. Ginger also rented a house for me once. I had forgotten to turn on my answering machine when I left my house. Ginger must have tired of the phone ringing and hit the button with her paw. I received that answering machine message, and that party rented my house.
Ginger loved to play with toy mice and small balls. She liked to go outdoors on occasion. I kept an eye on her constantly when she was outdoors. She wanted to take afternoon naps on my couch or a chair. Ginger loved Fancy Feast canned cat food. Eventually, all I had to do was say Fancy Feast, and she would come running for her cat snack for the day.
Ginger was always a very healthy cat. I only remember having to buy medicine for her once in her life. When Ginger turned 18, she started losing weight. Ginger also started vomiting, and I found her lying in my bathtub. I think Ginger must have had kidney failure. I called up my vet one day and had Ginger put to sleep. I missed Ginger, but c, cannot stand to see any beloved pet suffer.
