There are 22 of us total that Mommy has either found after being abandoned or before someone took us to the pound or a few of us were born at Mommy's before she could have our parents fixed? (Why would Mommy want to fix something that's not broken?) Well we all would like to say how we got here so let us start with the oldest. Age before beauty or Elders first, which ever.
Our oldest resident,is not however the one who has been here the longest.
BC
I am an 11 yrs old fixed
male. I
was
born here at Mommys. I stayed here for several years
before taking a long walk one day. I finally came
back from my travels in April of '93 with one minor
change. Someone took good care of me and protected
me while I was gone. Before my long travels I had a
booboo that was cared for with peroxide which changed
a circle of my jet black fur to reddishblack and it
is still visible today. Boy was Mom happy to see me
again. She gets so emotional when something goes
wrong with one of us. I like to stay out on good
days and comes in when thirsty and or hungry. I will
come in at night on cold nights without being called
but on warm nights I do not want to be in so I try to
open the screens to get out. Bad boy! When I do stay
in I will sleep with Mom under the covers and not let
anyone close to her. Not as close as the others could
be if I weren't in. But she worries if I am out all
night long. Too many bad things out there could get
me like racoons or those ugly possum that steal food
left by our doggy friend Queen.
Jack & Jill
We are also both
fixed. We
are part
Himalayan and part tabbie but look more like Siamese.
Dark ears and striped tails and Jack has light tabby
stripes down his back and legs. We both have blue
eyes and red centers when light hits them and we both
complain in the Siamese voice. Jill; I am Moms lap
hog. I am always there when Mom is trying to do
things like crafting or writting or just surfing the
Webtv she has. Jilly,as I am affectionatly called, am
a favorite I think. I am older then most of the rest.
Even my brother is a few min. younger then I.
Autum and Jessie
We are basic tabbies with 3
colors marbled thru our coats. We are both female,
fixed and 9 1/2 yrs young. We room with several fixed
males all of whom are basically orange. Sherbert is
the handsomest. He is orange with creamy white
markings. He is the one that always tries to go up
Mommy's armpit. He must know by now he can not fit.
But he keeps trying. Then there is OC. He is a very
shy orange/beige boy. He will only come close enough
to sniff your hand.
Today is a very sad day (09/16/98) for this afternoon my sweet Sherbert passed away. Sherbie, you keep Garfield company at Rainbow Bridge with Brough and Cheza and Winnie.
And last but not least there is Garfield. He is solid orange. He has learned that if he lets Mommy scritch him he gets a treat, and he likes it too. Took him a long time to find that out.
Garfield has gone to the Rainbow Bridge to be with Brough and Cheza. (06/06/98 at 6:15 PM EDT )
Wafette
I am female and came here 9 years ago. I
am
light orange with some beige on my chest. I came
after one set of neighbors moved and wanting to eat
and hearing other cats I decided to see if I could
get some food here. After all with all the cats here
I could just blend in and no one would know there was
one more, right? Well the lady feed me with the rest
but she did notice me. At first I did not want to get
too close. What if she was like that little person
who would be rough when they played? I gave it a few
days and watched her with the others and decided she
was different so I let her near and I am glad. I have
a home for as long as I want.
Lonesome
I am a fixed male with white chest
and
tummy and both back legs and front paws. The rest is
dark charcoal with silvery stripes. I do not get too
close to people. I do not think this person will hurt
me because she always feeds me but you never know. I
have been here 6 years now. I come at dinner time
and I stay on the porch when it rains or is cold out.
If the lady does not look at me when she passes I
will let her be as close as 3 feet but if she looks
at me I Will run.
Bent Tail
I am another orange and white male
that
only shows up for chow. Some times I come at night
and some times in the morning and sometimes not for
days. Once I stayed away for almost a year. I have a
broken tail that did not heal right so it is bent to
one side. I am friendly to a point but I do growl
sometimes when I have had enough mushy stuff. I found
this feeding stop about 4 yrs ago. I think I'll stay
awhile.
Momma Cat, Squeaky, Tang, Lavern and Shirley.
We were left at a car wash in a box. We kittens were
only a few weeks old when Mommy found us. She worked
across from the do it yourself car wash, and when she
came to work that day we were there so she took us in
her work place and gave our mom some water and that
night we went home with her. That was 5 yrs ago. We
are all female. Mommy Cat and Squeaky are calico,
Tang is orange and Lavern and Shirley(we are twins).
We are colored the same marble color except for the
face. Lavern, I am lighter on one side and Shirley, I
am darker on one side. We are also fixed. (There
goes that word fixed again.)
On this day (April 10,2000) Momma Cat pasted away. Hopefully she has joined the rest at the Rainbow Bridge. We Miss You Momma.
Maynard
I am male, big
and dirty
orange in color. The same night Mommy brought home
the family, Daddy brought me home from his work
because my mommy was hit by an 18 wheeler there. When
he got me home Mommy gave me such a bath because she
thought I was dirty but that is just what color I am.
That's me in the picture sitting on the plate. I am
a comic when I want to be. Sometimes I sit and put a
front paw way up towards Mommy so she will give me
things. Doesn't always work but it is worth a try.
Never know, right?
Maynard died April 3, 2000, He was our favorite. He even helped us pick our lottery numbers. And He would win (only 3 numbers out of 6 )more then either of the adults.
Bootsie
I was headed for the pound when my
previous Mommy asked this Mommy if she would like to
take me instead. She said Yes! Good thing, I was
not a kitten so I probably would not have gotten a
home. I've got one now. Been here 10 yrs. I am a
fairly big male, long hair, black and white (more
black then white) I do have eye problems tho, because
my lashes keep curling into my eyes. Mommy puts goop
in them and that helps me to see better. Many cats
have come and gone since I came. And if I know Mommy
many more will. Last May she got more kittens (like
she really needs more, yea.)
Frisbie, Markie, Cowie
(Pictured here just
after we arrived.) We were a Mothers Day
present. Our Mommy had to take us to the pound
because she couldn't keep us anymore, allergies or
something, we don't know. Well she stopped by work
first to find us homes first and everyone said we
were cute but they couldn't take us home. Then this
big furry guy saw us and said he would take us all as
a present for his wife. We figured furry = cats like
us. We were part right, lots of cats but he's no cat
and she isn't one so why so furry? A beard, that's
why. Great for cuddling in tho. Frisbie; I am male
(fixed) Charcol black taby with tan marbaling, white
chest and legs, and front shoulders are even white. I
am 9 pounds now and 1 yr. old with feet 3 times my 2
sister's feet. I like to pounce on things and fly
from counter to floor thus the name Frisbie. Markie
is a wirey female mostly browns in color and she is
an explorer. She follows Mommy into the bathroom and
sits on her lap no matter what Mommy is trying to do.
No wheres else does she sit on Mommy but there. Cowie
is a stricking calico. Very clear colors deep black
and white white and bright orange. She is Mommy's
night time cuddler. When that big black cat is not
in at night Cowie goes under the covers and gets her
head just out of them and kneeds the sheets and stays
all night. Here we are now.
As of 03/03/00 Markie is about 3 weeks preg. My little one got out several times during her last heat so se meet someone who accomadated her needs. The blessed event should be around mid April. As soon as I can get some photos of the babes I will put them here with the proud Mom.
Chin
I am so far the last to arrive. I
followed
the neighbors son home after he went fishing. Their
cat did not like me so they asked this nice lady if
she could give me a home. I am female. Silver in
color on top but my underfur is pure white. I think
that is why Chin for Chinchila. My fur is very soft.
I am the terror around here. I try to go in rooms
that are off limits all the time. I have tried to get
in one room so many times I have a hole worn in the
carpet at the bottom of the door. I am a very good
bug catcher though. There are these big wood spiders
that get in once in a while I catch and play with.
Mommy gets all upset when she sees one. I try to
play with them but she always breaks my toy and she
won't fix it. Why? Otherwise she is a nice lady to
give us all homes. I am sure there will be more in
my lifetime. Oh well the more the merrier they say.
As soon as all the pictures of us are scanned she
will put them on this page. So come back often. For
now MEOW.(Bye)
Chico
This little fella
was
found all by himself in the Florida everglades
several years back. My sister has what I call a
traveling food service that she takes to festivals
and craft shows. She does Italian foods and sometimes
ice cream or deserts. At one of these this little
black n white male showed up at her door all hungery
and my sister gave him some food. And from there they
became buddys so she asked around if anyone know of
the owner. Everyone told her there were lots of
kittens around there that get dropped off so she took
him in. He is still with her. Very happy and healthy
I might add.
Winnie came running whenever she heard the pop of a babyfood jar (meat sticks).
