In my 5 years of blogging, I don’t think I’ve ever formally introduced Dixie! But today I'm patterning alongside Tidy Cats every bit apart of a yr long collaboration, in addition to I wanted to tell you lot all to a greater extent than virtually Dixie in addition to our life together inwards the city!
According to a blurry Facebook image, I got Dixie on May 12, 2011, only every bit I finished my sophomore yr of college. She was 2 weeks quondam in addition to the smallest truthful cat I had ever seen. Her birthday is somewhere unopen to the kickoff of May, which way she only turned six!
I’ve ever had a truthful cat growing up, but when I left for schoolhouse I decided it was best to go out my truthful cat at domicile alongside my parents where she would live treated similar royalty (literally). During my sophomore year, I was inwards an storey alongside a roommate, but I would shortly live living lone in addition to knew I would live extra lonely.
In May of 2011, my best friend Nicole called me in addition to asked if I wanted a cat. I forthwith told her aye in addition to thence she said that the truthful cat had some complications in addition to entirely has 1 eye. Being shallow (and broke) I said perchance it was best I didn’t adopt the cat. She suggested I at to the lowest degree come upward run across it in addition to brand a decision.
I went to her storey that night, in addition to spell most of the retentiveness is a blur, I recollect falling difficult for the piffling kitten that was sleeping inwards my hand. I called my mom shortly subsequently in addition to made certain it was OK if I kept the cat. I felt in that place was no way I could live without her.
As the story goes, Dixie was born inwards an attic of a retirement domicile inwards Kentucky where she was the entirely 1 from her liter to survive. There was a loud commotion coming from the attic in addition to nosotros are left to believe that the manly someone rear truthful cat attacked in addition to killed the amount liter every bit good every bit the mommy truthful cat in addition to was inwards the procedure of attacking Dixie (and scratched out her eye) earlier it was broken up. The people who saved her life brought her into the vet where Nicole worked. Since Dixie was thence immature in addition to fragile, they idea adoption mightiness live difficult in addition to her peril at life was slim. In most cases vets would euthanize the cat, but inwards our illustration Nicole promised to notice her a home.
This is where I came in! After I met Dixie in addition to heard her story I knew I had to receive got her home. Because of her status the vet said she would render a lot of handling gratis of toll since nosotros were fighting an uphill battle.
At the time, Dixie was thence immature (too immature to live without a mommy kitty) in addition to could produce piffling on her own. Between that in addition to her oculus constantly fighting the battle of infection, the inaugural off few weeks in addition to months were rough.
BUT nosotros are hither today, live in addition to well! Her oculus has cleared upward completely on its ain in addition to continues to hold itself without medication. I decided to go out it opened upward since it was at no risk to her in addition to since I didn’t receive got plenty coin at the fourth dimension to unopen it.
I was originally going to squall her Cally (the Calico) but Nicole said no, for skillful reasons. The inaugural off fourth dimension Dixie barbarous asleep inwards my hand, a Dixie Chick vocal was playing, in addition to that is how her squall came to be!
This volition score our 6th yr living together in addition to our 5th inwards the city. One of my most pop questions virtually Dixie (outside of her eye) is what it’s similar living inwards the metropolis alongside a cat, in addition to what to produce alongside the litter box.
Even inwards Lexington, her litter was ever inwards the bathroom. I decided this would live the illustration because it was an tardily identify to construct clean upward in addition to the olfactory belongings would live contained to a smaller space. Thankfully nosotros live inwards a twenty-four hours in addition to historic current where kitty litter is advanced plenty that the olfactory belongings doesn’t go in addition to create amount the apartment.
Ever since she was able to purpose litter, we’ve been loyal Tidy Cat users. Their odor protection in addition to scented litter has been a saving grace for us over all these years. We volition in all likelihood never alter that! I’ve ever loved the litter alongside the glade scent -- official name: Tidy Cats LightWeight alongside Glade Tough Odor Solutions Clean Blossoms -- non entirely to lock inwards her smells but to brand the whole room olfactory belongings a piffling better. Since nosotros moved to the city, I’ve been ALL virtually the lightweight litter. People exterior the metropolis won’t understand, but when you lot receive got to larn groceries in addition to acquit them home, a lightweight litter is HUGE.
I’m also actually excited to denote that Dixie in addition to I receive got signed on to live ambassadors for Tidy Cats for the year! I would honey to tell that she printed her paw on the dotted line, but all she knows is in that place are a lot to a greater extent than treats for her at domicile now!
