00:00 When I saw him, I just fell in love with him.
00:04 My name is Emma and this is Cheesy's story for GeoBeats.
00:07 I went to the Maine Society and they had their cat of the month, which was right above Cheesy.
00:12 So I was going to look at that cat, but Cheesy stuck his paw out of the kennel like, "Let
00:15 me out, let me out."
00:16 I let him out and he was super affectionate.
00:19 He was a stray before he was rescued.
00:21 He essentially doesn't have any bottom teeth and when he got his x-ray scan, they found
00:26 that he has about over 10 BB pellets in his lungs, which can lead to him having issues
00:30 breathing sometimes or his eyes are just constantly watery.
00:34 Someone actually did adopt him before me, but they brought him back within a day.
00:37 We had an instant connection at the Maine Society.
00:41 I was there with my mom and she asked me if I wanted to put him back and look at other
00:45 cats.
00:46 I was like, "This is the cat I'm getting."
00:47 He adjusted pretty fast.
00:49 He just was like, "All right, this is where I am now."
00:55 Basically it's his house, it's not mine.
01:03 I don't know who named him, but that's an awesome name to give a cat and I just kept
01:06 it.
01:07 He is pretty adventurous, getting into things he shouldn't get into.
01:17 He's also very protective of me.
01:18 When I have company over, he usually is sitting on my lap making sure I'm safe from whoever's
01:24 over.
01:26 He just goes where I go.
01:27 He's like a puppy in that sense.
01:30 Whenever I get home, he's right at the door waiting for me to open it.
01:33 He's just always like, "You're home, all right.
01:34 If you feed me, we're good."
01:38 He has the funniest relaxation poses.
01:43 I wish I could be as relaxed as Cheesy.
01:51 He does have a floppy ear, his right ear.
01:54 When I took him to the vet, they basically said it's not too much of a concern right
01:58 now.
01:59 Maybe when he was a stray, he got into a fight, but it's just a part of him.
02:03 His eyes are super big and you just get drawn into his eyes when you're petting him and
02:09 they get slightly bigger each little pet and it's just so cute.
02:17 He still has regular vet appointments because of those pellets in him.
02:21 We just want to make sure that he's all right, but he is doing so much better.
02:27 I think he's just so happy to not be on the streets anymore.
02:35 He's very relaxed all the time besides when he's playing crazy.
