Ah, in case you didn't know, I have a cat, named Skittles. whee

At first, it was a really cute stray that I, yes I as in myself, found. It was quite some time ago, possibly over a year, when I heard its meow in my backyard. This was during the beginning of summer 2011, I think.

See then, I called my second brother. It was, probably like, really early in the morning, or really late in the night. A little past midnight or something, if I remember correctly. My brother and I let it in the house (bad idea? idk.). It chilled. I called out my siblings to show off this magnificent cat I've found.

We set it free later. The next night, it came back. For three nights after, if came back. Now, we didn't have any cat food, so we fed it chicken and water. It didn't eat it. crying

So for three days, the cat returned. I thought it was weird because I only saw it at night. Later, we found out it was actually staying under our deck.

So in the morning, I called it out. And yes, I have the most amazing cat-voice. I'm not even kidding.

My parents bought s small bag of treat. Yes, cat treat, it wasn't food. We fed it treats temporarily, and then BOOM. It came back every single day.

After some time, we bought real cat food, and we kept feeding it.

Several days after school started, we registered it as our cat. Yeah, a free cat. :3

But like, it started getting fat, and it wasn't as fun anymore. Now, it's actually too fat to do anything..

.. or so I thought. Yesterday, I was giving it water. By "it" I mean Skittles. Because Skittles is extremely spoiled, he only drinks the water that I give him. Usually, I set a bowl of water in the tub (because he looooves the tub) and waits until he is done drinking to remove the bowl and clean up. Well no, I don't have to clean the tub.

Anyways, I took a shower yesterday, as I do everyday. My cat wanted to drink, the tub was wet, problem. So I filled a bowl with water, and held it up to Skittles' face. He drank.

That's when I noticed it.

*lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, gulp*

It always licked the water 6-7 times before gulping. He gulps! I never knew. It seems he licks the water to gather in his mouth, and when he has enough, he swallows. And it's adorable. I can actually hear his little gulp.

uwah, cutenessoverload.

Well yeah, that it. I have a cat named Skittles, and he drinks adorably.

Also, sorry for the lack of emoticons. I feel kind of lazy today.
