All about Gimpy
Hi there, I'm the infamous Gimpy. Funny name, huh? Well, Mommy and Daddy named me Gimpy because I have a pin in my leg. I was hit by a car in 1998 and my leg was a mess. I saw the X-rays and I'm surprised I still have a leg. My owners who loved me very much, couldn't pay to get my leg fixed so that's when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had a pin put in my leg and after several months of recovery I was happy in my new home. I still have to hold my leg straight and I have a limp, thus my name Gimpy!
Let me tell you alittle bit about myself. My favorite food is 9-Lives Sliced Beef and Gravy®, but it gives me diarrhea so I only get it every once and awhile for a treat. Boy, do I look forward to those days! I LOVE to watch the birds. They keep my interest most of the day. If I ask Mommy and Daddy enough, they will lift me up to the cage so I can see them close up! Catnip is probably my weak point. I get very obsessed over it when it's poured on the floor. Nobody else can have it but me. Mommy and Daddy actually think I may be full blown obsessive-compulsive but I don't know. I just like things to be my way! I also love chasing the laser-light because I never know where it is going to go.
I don't really mind the other cats but I don't cuddle with them either. I really just enjoy laying on Mommy or Daddy's lap when they are watching TV or on the computer. Plus they know just how to pet my head and ears and to NEVER touch my bad leg.
As you can see I live a pretty full life. There never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish all of my habits!
