Oddie my cat

Oddie is my 7 year old rescue cat. I adopted her from Earlston Rescue Scottish borders because Oddie's previous owners moved away and no longer wanted her. Oddie had been stuck at the rescue centre for 10 months without any interest because people judged her age and weight. I had went to see all the cats and kitten at rescue centre and Oddie walked right up to me straight away and i thought she was beautiful. I also went to see the other cats but Oddie won my heart so I adopted her. She has brought a lot of joy to my dark life. She gives me hugs to cheer me up and never fails to make me laugh especially when she wipes her paws on the door mat before she comes in house. Oddie has come on leaps and bounds and is a happy friendly cat. Oddie loves cuddles and hogging the heater and playing with her toys. Oddie loves food especially salmon, treats and of course the most expensive cat milk. Oddie is like a member of the family and i would be lost without her.
