It’s been over a month and a half since Jango joined our family. In that time, her personality has done a total about-face…and that’s a good thing. There was nothing wrong with her before. She’s always been a sweetie. But losing her former owner and coming to a new home made her a very fearful and depressed kitty for awhile.
1. Jango is LOUD! Definitely a typical Siamese. She meows. She howls. She screams. She even has this one long, drawn-out cry that sounds like Whitney Houston hitting a high note. Lucas: “Geez, take a breath, Cat!”
2. Jango prefers to play with garbage. When we first got her, I bought her a bunch of new kitty toys, but she turned her nose up at all of them. Instead, she prefers to play with wadded up gas receipts, Band-Aid wrappers, cotton balls, and the little plastic seals from the lids of milk jugs.
3. Jango Fetches…just like a dog! She lets me know when it’s playtime (usually around 5am) by bringing a cotton ball up to the bed for me to throw. And I do. And she brings it back. This goes on until the cotton ball gets kicked under the bed or tossed into the clothes hamper. Someday I’m going to get a video camera to film this.
4. Jango is afraid to go outside. Once she followed me out front to put out the trash. But once she got to the end of the footpath, she stopped and froze in fear.
5. Jango almost never sleeps on our bed. Apparently, there’s not enough room there for her liking.
6. Jango sits guard on the bedroom floor. If I get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or adjust the thermostat, she follows me through the house and talks endlessly. She thinks its playtime.
7. Jango’s favorite hangouts include Kyle’s beanbag chair, my closet, the cabinet under the playroom window, and on a stack of boxes in the stairway closet. We just have to be careful to leave the door open when she’s in there.
8. Jango’s favorite treats are seafood flavored Whiskas Temptations, Pounce, and Feline Greenies. She won’t touch canned cat food, and she requires fresh water at least twice a day. Quinton says I spoil her.

Val, Jango looks content, like she owns the place!
The P86 photos on MG rock! Wow, you have quite a load.
Ces, you have no idea. When Q came home from work, he went upstairs to take a nap. When I went up to check on him, Jango was spread out on my side of the bed!
LOL!!! What a site. See she knows she found the right family.
