2nd themed post: talking about your pets

Today´s post is about our pets.

I used to have 3 pets, they are all cats: Neko, Kitte, and Gato Chico. Unfortunately Neko passed away last December, he was my partner for more than 16 years...I miss him so much. But I still have Kitte a 13 years old fat cat, and Chico a crazy one of 4. I have always had cats, since my mother was afraid of dogs, the only possiblility was to have cats.
this is their stressful lifeNekoTwo of my cats were rescued from the streets, and Neko was given by my cousin. I really love them! I remember I found Kitte in the street market, he was a baby, covered and fleas and almost starving; I couldn't just leave them, so I brought him home. Gato Chico was living on a tree near my house, he was abandoned in the street, so he had to climb the tree to stay alive and away from the dogs, one of my neighbors tried to adopt him, but her cat didn´t like him and hit him...so with my husband we decided to adopt him, but my cat Neko didn´t like him neither (he never liked other cats, he wanted to be the king), but at the end, he accepted Chico in a 15%.
Even though sometimes (most of the times Gato Chico) they make a mess in my house, trying to steal things they want to eat, or grabbing my son´s toys; I can't imagine my house without them.
