I found her under my mother's porch as an abandoned, hungry, frightened 5 week old kitten. At that time, I was able to fit her entire body in my hand! I was several states away from where I live, so I took her to the vet to get checked out. After she got a clean bill of health, I brought he back home with me. This was almost five years ago. We quickly became best buds! She is oftentimes not very nice, especially to strangers but I chalk it up to pediatric PTSD and I love her all the same.

Sometimes they are that shade of yellow, and sometimes they are green. I don't know what it depends on.

[-] SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Neat! My guess would be the lighting

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I never actually thought of that but that is a very solid answer.

What an incredible colour her eyes are!

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Sometimes they are bright yellow, and sometimes they are subdued green. I have no clue what that is dependent on though.

She’s such a beautiful little one. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a loving home.

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

She saved me too, honestly!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

AWWWW! Trauma babies hav to be fierce! But I'm sure she loves you too.

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

She does, and I know it. When she's not busy being mean, she is incredibly sweet. Lol

Yes, very clearly an absolute menace to be kept at bay! 🤪

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

She is 100% trouble, for sure. 😁

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 9 points 10 months ago

She's lovely!

Great cat. But a little disappointed - I was expecting legendary mischief stories.

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Haha, no. She hasn't tried to take over the world yet....to my knowledge.

[-] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 2 points 10 months ago

Key word: yet haha

[-] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 3 points 10 months ago
