Emmy, formerly Fufu  Formerly Fufu Emmy wants to tell all her human friends that she's doing fine and her new family loves her very much. I adopted Emmy (formerly Fufu) from the Huron Valley Humane Society about 2 years ago. I came looking for a young adult cat during the free-adoption event for cats 6 months and older. Emmy (Fufu) was just over a year-old then. Emmy had been dropped at the shelter by someone who clearly didn't realize how loveable she was, and was pretty skinny at that point. Wherever she'd come from hadn't fed her well and she hadn't been at the shelter long enough to fill out. (We got her back up to a healthy weight soon after we got her home and she filled in and grew a thick, glossy coat of fluff. These days we have to carefully measure her food to keep from gaining TOO MUCH weight.) While she was calm and friendly in her familiar cage at the shelter, she was pretty nervous these new humans who had come and taken her away, and she didn't know what to make of the house with all its new smells. It took her a few weeks to get used to us, (she was scared to leave my bedroom for a while) but these days she's a happy, spoiled little girl who loves to have an audience while she eats, stalks birds and squirrels from our back window, and purrs like a little chainsaw when we scritch her ears and back. She loves to run laps around the house, sprinting up and down the basement stairs and pulling herself in circles around the rug when she gets wound up. She's also got a thing for destroying cardboard scratching boards. We love to scoop her up and kiss her ears and rub her belly, though she only puts up with that for so long. Emmy is a lurker. She likes to be in the room with us, but doesn't really want to be held for very long and won't sit on laps. She will cuddle by our feet if we sit still long enough, and she loves to sleep between our legs on winter nights. Emmy wants to tell all her human friends that she's doing fine and her new family loves her very much. She's also overheard her mommy and daddy talking about getting her a new brother or sister to play with, so you may be seeing us humans back at the shelter in a few months to find her a new friend :3 |
