Diesel [3]

February 11, 2016

Erin says: Diesel is a 13-week-old girl who is about the size of an eight-week-old kitten. She was born a barn cat, and was nearly starved from having to compete with the adult cats and three other kittens for food. I took her from the barn when the resident tom started to beat her up, and she was not getting anywhere near enough food. Her tail curls up over her back like a husky, and I think the big guy may have broken it at one point when he was picking on her.

She purrs like a semi truck when she is happy and has just learned how to play. Before, she had no clue! She lives with me and my three parrots, who she likes to watch but knows better than to mess with. Smart as a whip, she got the litter box in one day and has never made a mistake. She has proven that she was supposed to be a housecat! Right now she is sleeping on her back in my lap, purring. If I moved now, she would cry. She is a lover, not a fighter!

Diesel is a doll! When I first saw the same "Diesel" I really thought it would be a boy kitty until I saw her adorable photo. Bless you for saving this sweet little kitty. She has the sweetest face and I love how she cuddles her toys. Many happy years with all your fur and feathered kids:)

She's a beautiful, darling kitty, and it is so sweet that when there is a toy(s) in a picture, she is holding them. She is just beyond cute!

Thank you for saving him! He would have been a goner if left there much longer. Poor baby! I love black cats. I have a black cat and all 3 of my kids have a black cat. They all seem to have this very wonderful disposition.
