Shea




Shea is a copper coloured male orange Persian kitten . He is 3 months old now and the cutest most cuddly ball of fluff you could ever see . His family has had him for several months now and I met the little mischief maker on Sunday . You just cannot help but love him but it brought a thought to my mind of how many people out there think that pets are such a unique gift at Christmastime . Having just going through the joys and the stresses of having a new puppy around I am strongly against the surprise of any new puppies or kittens for Christmas presents . Although it may sound like a good idea at the time .. and appealling little faces like Shea's seem irrestistible...I know firsthand the amount of work , committment and responsiblity that pet ownership entails . That is why so many unwanted animals are in shelters in January and February or left abandoned to suffer the consequences . With that said , for all of you who have pets at Christmas time , be aware that tinsel is toxic and wrap is a snack .
As for Shea....you just have to look at him to know he owns his owners and he is one beloved puddytat .I always said it is a good thing that God made kittens cute because he knew they would be bad . Thank you to Shea's owners for allowing me to visit their new baby and have a PURRfect Christmas .

Awww! Love the little smushed-up face! As a "parent" of two "shelter cats", I thoroughly agree that pets are not presents. Here in Toronto, the Humane Society is currently packed to the rafters with lonesome furballs of the canine and feline varieties. Having a pet is a committment of time, money, and heart -- not something to be lightly imposed upon someone over Christmas! That said, have a merry one!
