Every week we look for interesting stories about cats and their owners. This week we spoke with Sharon from The Netherlands (NL). She has two cats, Maddox and Dexter. They have both been with her for 4 years and were born in March 2017. "I think you could say we have some similarities, since Maddox and I are both addicted to warm, fluffy blankets.”
My cats couldn't get along with each other at first
Love at first sight
Maddox was not Sharon's first choice, as she initially planned to adopt his little sister. "I went there intending to buy his little sister, a beige-colored cat. When I saw him, I immediately fell in love. I've always wanted to have a gray cat, but the previous owner hadn't put Maddox online yet," she says.
He immediately felt at home, he kept purring and playing with everything. However, it didn't take long before his brother Dexter came home. "At first, they couldn't get along... But one day I came home and saw them sleeping together on their cat tree, so I knew it would be fine."
Spinning medicine
Sharon has always lived with cats and dogs, until she moved and realized that it was not possible for her to have a dog. Then she decided to go for cats. Smart decision, Sharon! She wouldn't want it any other way. "My cats mean everything to me. I didn't know it could be so much fun to have cats! They both have their own character, because Maddox likes to cuddle and Dexter likes to play a lot," Sharon says. "They even help me deal with stress, because cuddling with a purring cat is the perfect remedy."
We never expected Dexter to love our little boy
It has been a stressful time for her since she recently had a baby with her boyfriend. Dexter is not very fond of strangers, so she was afraid he wouldn't accept her baby. "He grew up on a farm, so he wasn't used to people taking care of him. We never expected him to be so loving towards our baby. He is the best cat we could have wished for," says Sharon.
Cats also love a manicure
If there's one downside to having a cat, it's their sharp claws. They sometimes wanted to dig them into the furniture. Fortunately, we have a solution for that. Sharon bought the Catdream De Luxe, but found it a bit too big for her house. "In the end, we gave it away to a fox rescue center. Then I decided to buy a smaller one, the Royalty Blackline Dark Grey. It's in our living room because we spend most of our time with the cats there. They really need a sturdy one, because Maddox weighs more than 6 kg."
