Stormageddon

Meet Stormageddon (Storm). The cat that has an obsession with weighing himself. Letting me know how hungry he is...

Born 31/10/2012 I got Storm from a shelter. Unfortunately his mother passed on Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) after he was born, most likely through milk. This condition can only affect other cats and takes quite a decent amount of effort to pass from one cat to another. Having a cat with FIV does not mean kitty has a death sentence. It is not like human aids. It effects kitty's immune system making them susceptible to disease and sickness, often turning a simple sneeze into a full blown respiratory illness. This just means Storm needs frequent vaccinations, health checks, specific diet and adequate exercise to maintain peak physical fitness.

He is a happy kitty who is extremely vocal and demands attention often. He loves playing and sleeping with his brother Matty (below) and cries when they are separated. Even for a short while.

Storm the snuggle puss loves his freedom but that doesn't mean he hates attention. Often crawling onto my feet or hands for a hug and a quick snooze. 

He also has a really quirky habit of throwing himself on the floor, howling and kicking, if he doesn't get the correct amount of pats before I leave the house. I often come home to all the rugs in the house messed up and toys thrown about the house if he didn't get enough attention before I went out. This goes for sleep time and wake up time curfews. Storm LOVES his routine.

And i love my Storm.
