Before I found my Pandora I was very depressed from a life of abuse at home, I used to try to commit suicide all the time, I would cut myself and was deep in a dark void. My boyfriend thought that a cat might help me so we went to the local veterinary (they adopt cats and kittens from the local RSPCA) and I found my Pandora.
It was a rough start she had also been abused and was very skittish around people, that’s when I found her love for chicken, from then on we have been so very close playing with each other and protecting each other.
Pandora is a very smart cat she loves to play fetch and brings the ball back to me and places it in my hand. She also sits on command and walks on a lead.
I have decided that Pandora will be a house cat as my last cat was hit by a car and I had to put her down, I never want to do that again.
We play chase around the house tagging each other then running away Pandora loves to play this then when she is all tired from playing she climbs up on my lap for a long cuddle.
She is a very spoilt cat and has a large basket of toys that she is always pulling them out of then leaving them for me to trip on.
She talks to me as well when I ask her a question she responds and has a special meow that says she wants to go out for a walk.
I love her so very much and I think that we have both saved each other’s lives and show each other that there aren’t just horrible people out in the world.
