My family always had pets, but my very first pet that they let ME choose was a little black kitten at a shelter. I named her Tido which is pronounced (Tee-doe). She was the smallest yet most active kitten! I was extremely protective and loving towards her. She taught me many things. How to interact with animals, how to show love without lashing out ( I had emotional issues), how to take responsibility, and most of all: LOVE MATTERS NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE!!!
Here is my baby! She is still with me today!
