How it all began...
I've always loved the idea of having a cat, going back in time I don't know why or when I decided to love them instead of dogs. I think maybe I wanted to be original or different from the rest, but I always wanted to have a cat in my life.
Unfortunately my family didn't allowed pets in the house, at least four legged pets. One time I found a little bird (periquito australiano) in my backyard and capture her, I adopted as pet with the remorse of my dad (he doesnt like to see caged animals) She lived with me for a year more or less, and died after going sick with her "maternal instincts" (putting more eggs than she can handle). That was my first pet of my life...
However every cat I saw, everytime I went like crazy :P, dont know why but I loved to see them in books and in movies, dreaming having the chance to have one of them when I got married... and it was :)
After a year of marriage, we were kinda struggling with baby issues, one nigth my sister Sandra calls me and asked me if I still wanted to have a cat. Giova was all his life devoted to dogs, but with the great love for me, he promise me that I could have a cat. I asked him and he agreed. My sister's friend Carlos was the one who found two little kittens in the street and wanted to give them away.
I met him and saw the kittens, they were white and black, skinny, playfull and very tiny. I loved them both, but something inside of me hinted me that they werent meant to be mine. I talked to Giova and asked to have them both, he agreed, and when I tried to contact Carlos again, it was difficult, it where problems. The kittens were in the house of her girlfriend, and now the girlfriend didn't wanted to give them away, he putted so much troubles in giving the cats that I went so heartbroken. Giova forbid me to contact with Carlos again. He said that those cats werent meant to be ours... So I cried, and then I got determined to have my cat for once and for all.
I called Giova and talked to him to look in the vet clinic for some family who had cats with kittens to adopt. He agreed with me and I contact Chabuca, the nurse in the vet clinic. It was friday, I remember it well, when I talked to her with the idea of having a kitten, I asked for for two cats, since the idea of having two was ok for both of us, and I read in the internet about having 2 kittens is best for them to have one. Chabuca told me that it would take her time to find me the kittens, so I waited... but not so much... :) She called me the next day (saturday) and told me she found me one cat and if I wanted to see it, she could waited for me in the afternoon. I was so excited, and think to myself :"no matter how is he, I will take him home". Giova was more careful, he said that if he didnt like the cat, he wont take him home.
That saturday after work we went to see Chabuca at the vet clinic. She showed us a little kitten, a grey one. He was mostly all grey with white chest and belly. When I saw him I said It's mine I take him!, Chabuca give him to me to hold him and he was so nice and cute, he cuddle instantly and that take Giova's heart. It was decided, that kitten would be ours. When it came the name time, Chabuca and Giova said "Tom" as Tom and Jerry cartoon, but I didn't wanted a name of a cat who always lost against mice, so I said Bandido, because his face give him away... and it did.
We take him home, and thats how we began having a cute kitten in home... for me its been almost 3 years having cats and its the best thing it could happend to us, we love them, we take care of them, worry about them, and the best part of all, they loved us too.
I will introduce one of them to you ;) hope u like them :P
