My Cat Priest Holmes


I have a cat that I named Priest Holmes. I named him Priest Holmes because I am a KC Chiefs fan and Priest Holmes is a running back for the Chiefs. Anyway, Priest was just a kitten when my huband brought him into the house and I bottle fed him and tried to save him. There were two white kittens. I was unable to save one of them but Priest hung in there. I have never had an indoor cat before. I am an animal lover but we grew up with dogs not cats and so my images of how bad cats could be was pretty one sided. I thought of them as being smelly and peeing all over everything and their litter boxes smelling up the place. I couldn't let the little guy die so I nursed him to health and when he was strong enough to go outside, I just couldn't do it. I had fallen in love with the little bugger. He is very spoiled and I adore him. When I am doing my homework, he gets jealous and wants to lay on my books so I can't read. He actually fetches just like my dog. They both want my attention and are very jealous animals. I was so wrong about cats being smelly. I clean his litter box everyday and you would never know we have a cat in the house. He is very clean and never messes anywhere but his litter box. I guess it goes to show how wrong you can be about things when you go on hearsay. I am glad I saved him because he as been a wonderful addition to our family.
