Nona is doing really well - she’s walking all over me and the couch right now - she has come such a long way from the malnourished sickly dragon some monster said he would throw in the garbage ... she’s gotten so strong and has a great personality ...I purposely set up obstacle courses for her to climb and walk on so she works those muscles. The before and after for this this poor little creature are astounding - she didn’t deserve what ever happened to her previously - no creature does- but she is so much better now. She’s now chillin’ on my leg.
Sofia is a very special cat - her baby Lily isn’t really her baby - Sofia was only 10 months old (and spayed) when I adopted Lily who was barely 5 weeks and not weened from her mother - Sofia even though she was a kitten herself - adopted Lily and let the kitten “nurse” off her - even though she had no milk. She carried, bathed and “nursed” the kitten as if she had it herself. It was pretty amazing to watch.
The reason there are so many feral cats causing havoc to wildlife is not the cats fault. It’s humans. Humans do not spay or neuter their pets and then let them outside free to roam and then come home - have a litter of kittens (or puppies) and then the humans drop the whole lot off into the wilderness to either die a horrible death or do the best they can by killing what’s available.
Don’t blame innocent creatures for what humans have done to them. If they’re killing the native wildlife - think about who put them into that situation in the first place. They used to be someone’s pet. That’s wrong and just so sad.
It’s our job, if we decide to take ANY animal in, to keep them safe, healthy and give them the best lives possible. They (the animal) don’t have a say in the matter.
Kevin and Nona’s ancestor dragons didn’t ask to be taken from the wild to be put in the pet trade - they’re both rescues from bad situations (Nona’s was the worst) I didn’t buy them- but it’s now my responsibility to make their lives the best I can give them. I didn’t know if Nona would make it through the night when I got her - but I figured at least for that night she would feel safe and loved.
Sorry for pontificating - but I’m very passionate about not blaming animals for what humans have done to them.
Be responsible humans to all animals. Not just the ones you prefer.
