I'd like to tell you about my pets. It's not quite a farm-related topic, as they're indoor (apartment) pets and have never roamed the land or helped around the house. But one of them has the blood of a true wild hunter in him!
Cat Pushka
I present to you our cat Pusha. She will soon be two years old. A very sweet and at the same time mischievous creature.
The main distinguishing feature is that Pusha behaves like a dog:
- Executes the command "Fetch".
- When he wants to eat, he brings a bag of food in his teeth and throws it at your feet.
- Meets and sees off at the door.
- When it gets tired of running, it opens its mouth, sticks out its tongue and breathes heavily.
And like all cats, she purrs loudly, sleeps at your feet, and wakes you up in the morning by trampling all over your body. A couple of times a day, she gets silly and, possessed by demons, goes tsk-tsk all over the apartment. At that moment, all the things, carelessly arranged, fly in all directions. The cat even seems to scurry along the walls. And then she falls into a bad hibernation.
Kote after tig-duk:
Pushka is a Siberian cat. She's purebred, but she doesn't have papers. The owners didn't have time to get the papers, the mother cat disappeared, and the kittens, less than a month old, were left alone. The owner didn't bother and simply gave the kittens away, as she couldn't afford to feed them all with a dropper. We took one kitten. They promised it would be a boy, but a couple of months later we realized it was a girl.
We spayed Kisa and shave her head bald twice a year, as a lot of hair accumulates around the apartment during shedding season.
Guinea pig Nyusha
This is the cutest little miracle. A furry bundle of affection. Nyusha is six months older than Pushka. She was the first in the family. She is a rosette.
When we got a kitten, we were counting on an animal friendship, thinking they'd grow up together and be inseparable. And that's how it was at first. Little Pushka would climb into the pig's cage and live there with her:
But over time, the animal instinct took over.
When people are in the room, the cat meekly watches the pig, sniffs it, and allows it to approach. But as soon as the cat goes into another room, the cat immediately attacks the pig, hoping to kill it like prey. But the pig is no ordinary animal. As soon as the cat tries to grab it, the pig wriggles free and bites the cat with its powerful teeth.
And then the picture shows the cat in shock, meowing and not approaching the offender for a long time.
Here are some more photos of the guinea pig:
This is the kind of furry guard we have living here!
