Jessica

Hi, My name is Jessica. I came into DCH foster care at about 3 weeks old as I did a silly thing. I was born in a produce store and I went off wandering away from my mum on my own and found myself under a pallet that was just about to be lifted by a big machine. Just as well the driver saw me and he was a nice man and picked me up and put me in a box with a warm towel. I was so lucky he saw me as I would have been squashed by the prongs on the fork-lift. I was also lucky that they knew my foster carer and she knew how to bottle feed kittens and she looked after me till I was big and healthy.

I love playing with other cats and kittens. When I was smaller I loved chasing my tail as it has a little light coloured bit on the end. After catching my tail a few times I realised that it was attached to me and biting it as I caught it hurt, so I rarely do that any more. NOw I chase the other cats tails or the dogs tail. My favourite toy is a piece of bamboo with a ribbon tied on the end. I love to jump high trying to catch the ribbons but I also love to drag the stick around and I can even maneuver it through the cat tunnel. I also love to chew up pieces of paper and I carry out the toilet roll centre when someone puts it on the floor; such fun.

I am a fairly smoochy girl when there are no other cats around and will spend time with the people in my family, but if there are other cats around I would rather play with them, so I may be better as an only cat. I do have one problem - I don't like taking tablets, or being treated with any other medications, so my foster mum wraps a towel around me so I can't struggle, and then she gives me my medication eg: worming tablets. I'm a very clever girl also, and also like to get my own way and also like to have the best sleeping place. When it is cold I like to crawl into peoples clothing to keep warm you can see how cute I look in the picture of me I had climbed into a lovely warm wool shirt, and had my picture taken.
