Petronella's Adoption

A lovely message from Petronella's new family:

It's been three weeks since we adopted Petronella. I never thought I would have a pet in the house before. Both my daughter and I are afraid of dogs and none of us was keen on having an animal in our house, let alone the fact that both of us were allergic to cats.

We spent last Christmas in NY with a dear friend who has a cat. We suffered allergies for 2 days and had to take antihistamines. We were then ok for the rest of our stay. My friend's cat was 14 years old and it wasn't very active. Nevertheless, it was a lovely cat.

When we came back to HK, we started to think seriously about having a cat. Luckily, we found the HKAlleyCatWatch website.....and there we are....our life has changed! Thanks to Michelle, we were able to take Petronella home the first time we met her.

I wasn't too sure about Petronella in the beginning because she looked a bit too skinny and fragile to me. We took petronella home and started to toilet train her. She did a pee on our sofa twice but then quickly learnt to use the kitty litter box. Things went really well after that and now Petronella has bonded with me. She also loves to play with my daughter. Petronella now climbs onto my bed and sleeps with me every night. And guess what? I really like it! Petronella wants lots of attention and does cheeky things at times. She doesn't like me spending time on the computer.

Every time I try to go on the internet, she would jump and sit on my laptop!!! We're absolutely falling in love with this cat. You might think Petronella is lucky but let me tell you the truth, I'm the lucky one! Po Rippon 26/1/2010
