This is Harley Davidson. He used to be she and she used to be Harley Quinn, but I'll tell you that story in a minute! This little fur ball is my baby, my best friend and my shadow. He is my absolute world, which is weird because go back to 2016 and I had a built in dislike for all things cat due to being attacked by two when I was younger. Fast forward to New Year, yes literally New Year, this monster gets dropped and I fall head over heels. There has been a lot to learn along the way so I thought I'd take the opportunity to start a kind of kitten diary where I update you with lots of adorable pictures and funny stories. This one is going to be more of an introduction with a few stories from his first seven months in this world and then we'll move on to all the crazy stories!

The first two things you should know about Harley is that he was born on Halloween and we were told right from the start his mam was an absolute psycho, so I guess we should have known that this was set to be a crazy ride. As I've said I've always been a dog person becasue of what happened when I was little, I guess it just kind of stuck with me, but my boyfriend found out that his cousin's cat was expecting and he knew I loved animals so he told them he'd have one to give me for Christmas. Yes, yes I know, an animal isn't just for Christmas. I assure you that isn't the case here as you will find out if you continue reading. So, there it was I was told I was getting a kitten for Christmas and he would be dropped off at New Year, so I busied myself reading all things kitten related and bought everything you could possibly imagine for him arriving.

However, having originally been told we were getting a boy and deciding to name him Thor, we were then told that the kitten we would be getting was a girl. So I decided the perfect name would be Harley Quinn, seeing as I love the DC character and we already knew the kitten was set to be a little psycho. So, I bought everything in pink and for months he was Harley Quinn. Until one day i was holding him and my boyfriend said "It looks like she's got balls!" The thing was my boyfriend is joker and I thought he was just doing his usual and taking the mick so I took no notice, until the next day when the cat was sleeping on my knee with his legs spread, as they do, and I noticed the balls too. So that was that, she was actually a he. My boyfriend was all for changing his name but by this time he was answering to Harley so, seeing as it's luckily a unisex name, I didn't think there was any need or that it was a good idea. The Davidson part came from my dad who has always been a bit of a bike buff and had actually always referred to the kitten as Harley Davidson.

After that it was out with all the pink toys, and yes I know it didn't matter to the cat but being some what OCD it mattered to me. I then bought most things back in blue or grey, leaving out only the things that he hadn't ever really liked. So there you go, my first kitten faux pas. If you enjoyed that one then be sure to keep an eye out for my next kitten update!
