Maggie was given to me by a lady whose Mother had died that used to have Maggie as one of her house cats. Maggie has always been an amiable and loving cat. Maggie used to live outdoors at my place. She lived in a cat building with heated cat beds and a heated water bowl.
Maggie Is Getting Older
Since Maggie is considered an old cat now, she lives in the house next door with ten other cats. I decided to put her indoors in October. She was shivering as she walked around outdoors. Since she could no longer stand a temperature of 50 degrees, I decided she should be a permanent house cat.
Maggie Gets Along Beautifully With My Other Cats
She gets along beautifully with my other cats. She loves the cat tree in the house and keeps her claws in optimal condition. Canned cat food and treats are a big hit with her. Catnip mice and singing birds are tossed around by her, and she loves to eat catnip, also.
Maggie The Huntress
When Maggie was outdoors, she would climb up in the trees. She would also lay next to me while I was in the hammock. She was an excellent huntress, and many rodents met an early demise. She would sleep under the picture window, and when an unfortunate bird would crash into the window and die, she would have an appetizer.
Maggie The Gardener
She was good at gardening as she was always by my side. She would take dirt baths in the dry soil. She would fertilize the raspberry bushes planted in the garden. Maggie would take off running with the empty seed packets I would gather later and put in the trash. She made sure I had straight rows in the garden as she would lay down on the string I had laid out for the rows. Once in a while, she would tap against the seed packet, and a few more seeds would be planted in that area.
Maggie In Her Golden Years
Maggie steps out of the door now and then next door, but she does not venture far. She eats a little grass and goes back inside. Maggie is 11 Years old now. She is happy to be in a house that meets all her needs in her golden years. I hope Maggie lives out all her nine lives with me by her side. Maggie is now about fourteen years old. She weighed 8 pounds last year and only seven this year. I took her to my Vet, and she was treated for diabetes and cancer. Her test came back normal. She shivers when it gets cold, so I left my heated cat beds plugged in longer than usual. She has been doing OK this summer and is in no pain. She loves to eat canned cat food and cat treats, which she gets every day. She still likes going outdoors, rolling around on the hot sidewalk, and munching grass. I may have to have her put to sleep before winter if she has lost more weight, as she cannot tolerate the cold even with a heater running and heated cat beds. I never want to see any pet or animal suffer.
