13 versus Victor

Today was the weirdest day of my life so far, and it’s not over yet!

As I was saying in my previous posts, I love animals and that’s why I have at home 2 hamsters and 1 cat. Ebola, the oldest hamster, lives in a perfectly safe cage, while Victor lives in a small bowl, that resembles an aquarium, the one Americans use for their golden fish. The cat, 13, lives everywhere it wants.
Until today, 13 always attempted to catch Ebola, since the cage is very big and transparent and sees the hamster very often. It completely ignored Victor. Today, something happened J.
While I was sleeping, I noticed that the cat was much more active than usual and kept running back and forth hysterically. I thought it was its regular morning gymnastics, and I ignored it. After a while, the cat became more and more hysterical and agitated and I got scared because now it focused on the cables and I decided to put an end to whatever 13 was doing. When I got close to the place 13 was, I was shocked! 13 was chasing Victor, my hamster, for the past hour. The poor guy was under shock, stressed like hell and trembling its ears out! At that point I didn’t know what to do: stop the cat from killing the hamster, stop the hamster from chewing the cables… well, I stopped Victor, I managed to catch him and I placed him back to his bowl. I’ve hidden the bowl to a safe place and then I checked the other hamster. Ebola was doing just fine, sleeping like a baby.
13, in return, was in a terrible condition. It was exhausted, I have never seen a cat so tired in my life. He probably chased Victor for more than 1 hour without stopping and now he just couldn’t stay on his feet, his heart was beating incredibly fast, I was quite scared. I fed him, give him some water and he fell asleep right away. Did that with Victor too and now I will definitely buy a new cage for Victor. If I kill another hamster i don’t think I could take it…
The funniest thing was Tibi’s reactions. He asked me: “oh c’mon, haven’t you ever watched cartoons? Don’t you know that cats and hamsters don’t get along?”
Well, apparently I have to be special and I have to have them both. One thing is for sure: you can never be bored in our house J)

13

I found this kitten on the street three days ago. It was very hurt so i taken it to a doctor. The poor guy was either hit by a car of fell of the roof of the house. After three days of treatment he is doing just fine. It has three broken legs, but since it only has two months it will heal by them selves. I can’t keep it because I already have a dog and 2 hamsters and.. as much as I’d love to keep it, it’s impossible. If i won’t find somebody i can trust with 13 (that's how i named the kitten) than I’ll keep it in my office. I love it too much :)

Enjoy 13!
