Active within 2192 Days
Hi! My name is Whiskers
I am an American Shorthair from El Centro, CA
Nicknames: Baby Girl, Pretty Kitty, Big Eyes, and Little Princess.
Age: 17 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: I am my human Mama Mandy's very first cat which makes me very special to her! Mama is my best buddy. When I was younger I ate insects that got into the house. Aren't I clever?
My favorite tricks and treats are: Tricks: I am very smart! I can sit on command and play dead when I lay on my back in Mama's hands. When I was younger I liked to play fetch with those plastic rings you get off of bottle caps, and I still like to play with them. I also will give Mama a kiss when she asks me to. She thinks it's very cute. Aren't I just adorable? You know I am. and Treats: Chicken, tuna, and ham. A little bit of ice cream, peaches, yogurt, or pudding, because I have a real sweet tooth. But not too much! I need to keep healthy! I also like toys with catnip, and cardboard scratchers with catnip.
Where I hang out: My Mama's room, which is also my room that I share with my "brother" Smokey, the den, and the guest room.
My favorite grubs: Cat Chow and Purina One. The natural brands.
My pet peeves: Bossy dogs, strangers, certain lotion and perfume scents, being pestered by my "brother" Smokey.
What I love about my owners: Nobody owns me! Mandy is my human Mama! She rescued me and got me away from those other mean cats. I now have my own cat bed, a whole basket full of toys, a self cleaning litter box, a scratching tree that has levels to lay on, card board scratchers full of catnip, and- what do you mean I'm too spoiled? I deserve it!
My cat hobbies: I like to pose for pictures! I am always ready for a close up. I like to lay on soft beds and be fed tidbits, play with catnip, to be told I'm a pretty kitty, cuddle with Mama and give her kitty kisses. Mama loves to hear me purr, and I often purr when cuddled. When I was younger I loved to get in boxes, like in my picture. Aren't I just beautiful? Mama brushes me to make sure I have nice soft and shiny fur. Sometimes it can get boring, but it's the price you pay to look good. She also keeps my claw tips carefully trimmed. No declawing in THIS family! Mama worries about me because I'm getting old, but I just try to let her know that for now I am still here to give her hugs.
Pet motto: Whiskers's Motto: You can't spoil a cat too much.

How We Met
I was volunteering at a humane society and at the time she was a six month old half grown kitten. She kept climbing up my legs and trying to follow me out of the room. The other cats picked on her and I wanted to get her out of there because she seemed so sad! When I left the room and closed the door and looked back through the window, she hid to get away from the other cats. My heart broke. That did it, she was coming home with me! I strongly suspect that her former owners abused her, because she's afraid of so many things. The broom, the mop, strangers, men, children, going outside, etc. Her name used to be Whiskey and I changed it to Whiskers so it wouldn't confuse her too much because it sounds similiar. To this day she has only truly bonded to me, and I am honored that I was able to gain her trust. She must have seen something in me is all I can say, because she chose me to be her savior. From day one she acted grateful to me for taking her from that place. She was filthy and covered in parasites. We took her to the vet and got her healthy again. Whiskers acts like a little princess, almost snooty sometimes, but she's actually very sweet. She's spoiled rotten and she knows it, and she just eats it up! She's been spayed so she can't mother any unwanted kittens. My Motto: People might ask me, why get pets when it hurts so much to lose them when they pass on? My answer is, because it hurts even more to not have them in my life at all.

Sometimes! From Mandy: Sometimes Whiskers will go into a closet, and we won't know she's there and we'll shut the door. Then later we'll be trying to find her as she meows wanting out. Whiskers also likes to get under beds and tables.Come visit me, Smokey & Whiskers.
