🩷Pet Of The Week🩷
This sweet little darling is Betibu, one of our frequent flyers at both Jervis Bay and North Nowra hospitals. All of the staff adore her , so it was only fitting to share her quirkiness and adorable photos with the world!
Nicknames, and how I got my name: Beti, Bubu, Bu. My name is a combination of Mum’s late brother’s three pets: Betty, Titta, Busta. Pretty unique, just like me!
How I found my home: I was rescued from the shelter as my Mum wanted to adopt a a cat in memory of her darling brother- but really I was the one who chose her, by screaming and throwing myself into her arms the moment the crate door opened, climbing all over her. Until that moment, she wasn’t particularly into white cats, and despite there being many other sweet little kittens to choose from, my display of violent affection and love was enough to easily win her over. What can I say, I like to make my intentions clear, and I always get my way!!
Personality described in three words: Outgoing, Affectionate, Clowny
Favourite activities: Cudding with Mum and my canine siblings, taking ownership of the pillow at nighttime, voraciously biting fingers in the morning, nose kisses and, of course the usuals- eating and sleeping.
Best animal friends: My three canine siblings and my feline sister
Things I do not enjoy: I am pretty chill; being deaf and confident, not much bothers me. However, I don’t like it when I wake up and find that nobody is around me, so I do the only logical thing- let out the most visceral, loud, drama-queen meows you can imagine. When my mum waves at me from downstairs, that usually calms me down. Hopefully the neighbours are okay with the spontaneous screaming!
Favourite sleeping position: Anywhere I can stretch out one front leg to hook my claw onto the furniture, so it hangs there.
Favourite food: I have a broad, cultured palate, and don’t even mind the odd vegetable here and there.. and would devour many fruits (if allowed).
Things I enjoy but am not allowed to do: Quenching my thirst from the toilet bowl, exploring inside kitchen cupboards (my favourites are ones that contain jars and glasses), knocking down treat jars on the kitchen bench, eating cut flowers- I am quite partial to roses.
Something I am always complimented about: My cute face and my outgoing and quirky personality.
