My Really Hyper Cat

I have a cat named Toby. We got him from Petsmart a couple years ago. (Petsmart rescues cats and lets people adopt them). Besides my dad, my family had never had a cat before, so my mom wanted a calm cat that was easy to take care of. Whenever any of us picked up our cat, whos name was Bear before we adopted him, he would just slump into our arms and go to sleep. He was so cute! He was tiny because he was only 5 months old. We decided to adopt him 1. because we liked him and 2. because he was sick, and if we didn't adopt him, they would have put him down (kill him) so the other cats wouldn't get sick. After we nursed him back to health, he became the most hyper cat I have ever seen. One time, when I came home from school, Mama told me that he ran along the back of the couch a few times! I even saw him doing it myself a few months ago. Another time, he was waiting about 5 steps up on the stairs, waiting for my dog, Thyra to pass by. As soon as she did, he pounced on her! Also, a couple years ago, my dog came around the corner with a guilty look on her face. I looked behind her and saw that her look was not a guilty look, it was a "get this thing off of me" look. She was dragging my cat along the tile with my cat clinging onto her back leg like a leech! It may not seem like it, but they actually get along pretty well. Every once in a while, I will see them cuddling up against each other on my dog's bed. Awwwwwww! Just like my dog, Toby can be really funny chasing the red lazer light. You can get him spinning around in tight circles for quite some time...and if you want to see something really funny, try to get him to run straight! He will be SUPER dizzy! As much as I love him, during the summer, he woke me up EVERY SINGLE MORNING at about 5:00 in the morning and wouldn't leave me alone!!!!!!! As annoying and mean as he sounds, he is actually a very sweet cat. (although my mom doesn't think so!) Since we have had him, which is about 2-3 years now, he has hissed only twice. The first time when my mom had to give him baths when he was sick (but he only hissed on the first bath). The second time when he was ripping up the side of the couch with his claws and we had to cut them. (again, he only hissed the first time we cut his nails!) One more thing before I go... If you want a calm and easy-going cat, don't be fooled by how he acts when he is sick!!!

My dumb dog

I have a Mini Australian Shepherd dog named Thyra. (Tee-ra). Her name is German for "shield". Since her type of dog "shields" sheep, we gave her the name Thyra. Of course we don't have any sheep though! Anyway, she is really really dumb but really really obedient. Just to show how dumb she is, I will give a few examples.

1. One time, when we first moved to our new house, she ran straight throught the screen door.


2. She is scared of my cat!


3. When I shine the red lazer light on the wall, she runs into the wall!


4. One time, when we were gone for a few hours and she was outside, she got her nose stuck in one of the little holes in the fence, and it took a while for us to get her out. She now has a slightly crooked nose.


5. When we first got her about five years ago, her toy fell into the pool. She jumped in after it, but the water was 50 degrees or lower. Now she is terrified of water and hates baths.


6. Let's just say she has a nervous bladder around strangers!

With that said, I have to say that although not the sharpest tool in the shed, she is extremely obedient. For example, she will drop her toy immediately when you say "drop it." She will sit, lay down, roll over, get on her bed, get inside her kennel, and do the trick "shake" usually the first time you tell her to. Even though she can be dumb, it makes her all the more entertaining. It may seem that i don't like her very much with what i said in this post, but i love her immensly and wouldn't trade her for any other dog!

A little about myself

Hi. My name is Megan. A lot of people call me Meg (like my strings teacher), Meggie (like my family and friends), and my nicknames even go as far as Meggiepants! My dad used to take hold of my hips when i was little and say, "What are these?" and I would say, "Meggie hips!". (Like I said, I was really little). Maybe that's where I got the nickname Meggiepants! I really don't know! Some of my hobbies are dancing, crochetting, and even torturing my cat at times! (It's not that I am mean to him, I just love to hear him meow. And it's kinda fun to see if I can pull my hand back fast enough so that he doesn't bite me!) I have been dancing since I was about three years old. My favorite type of dance is tap, although I have done ballet, lyricle, jazz, clogging, and more. What's funny is, I learned how to crochet through dance! My little sis' was in her tap class and I was waiting for mine to start (I was a level higher than her, so my class was next hour). While I was waiting, I saw someone crochetting a baby hat and booties for babies born pre-maturely. Because I was so interested, she told me to bring some yarn the next week and she would teach me how to crochet. Since then, I have made scarves, blankets, hats, booties, etc. Well that's pretty much all i have to say for now...Bye!!!
