Hello and welcome to my First ever Home Page. I guess that it is best that I start off telling you a little about myself. Well I am nine years old and a proud British Tabby. Yes you read right. I'm a "BRITISH Tabby"


I was born in the city of Portland, England and had five brothers and three sisters. So How did I come to America from England. Well it is a long story but here is the short version.

My first mistress, Helen raised cats as a hobby. I had a fine Mom and Dad as they were champions. Any way as Helen was getting on in years she decided to quit the business and retire. So she gave all of her cats away except me and my brother, his name was Mr. PeePeeand came from another litter. We were were like family to her and went every where with her.


Now being a British cat and very proud and quite the Man about town. I was the Boss any where I went. PeePee was just the the other way. He was a follower and my shadow.
Anyway Helen health turned for the worst and she finally had to leave her large house and home and move into a small flat there in Portland. But she could not have her cats. She was going to have to give us up to the RSPCA

How the folks of England and the RSPCA of England are a lot different than that of the SPCA in America. The people of England love their animals. I mean if a human in England hits a wild animal, like by a car, or finds an injured animal they stop and take it to a vet. The Vet does his best and does not charge for his services. It's the love of animals in Britannia that has been there since time began.
Course if it was not for us cats of England, the "Black Plague" of the early centuries would have wiped out the human race. Yes, we saved the England and quite possibly the world we all love from the rats that carried the fleas that spread the plague. The Brits have never forgotten this. England is the only place where cats can run free and roam where ever and when ever they want.


Forgive the rambling but I felt you needed to know a little of our history. How Yoda who in the US Navy and Mimi (his daughter) had just come to England for a tour with the Royal Navy from the US. Yoda and Mimi had to leave their pets behind due to the extreme long quarantine that is imposed on animals coming to England. So he promised Mimi to get her a cat and dog when they got to England. After getting settled off they went to the RSPCA to find the right one.

Well we were there waiting and Mimi fell in love with us right away. They really only wanted one cat, but we came together or not at all. How Pee Pee and I turned on the British charm. I worked the magic spell on Mimi and Pee Pee on the Yoda. They loved us and off we went to live with Mimi and Yoda at Southwick, England.

The Yoda and Mimi are great to us. We had the run of their house and their neighborhood. Everyone just loved us. We would leave the house when they went to work or school and make our rounds to all the houses in the neighborhood. Course there were lots of hand outs everywhere.
In the afternoon when school was out we would lay on the sidewalk and all the children would pet us as they walked by. Course we waited for the Yoda to get home from work at out favorite place, on top of his car. So we really had a great Life.


Then came the one day I almost lost my life. I don"t remember what happened, but I knew that I was hurt. I remember Yoda calling to me and looking for me. Something inside told me I had to get home. For two days I had to drag and crawl home. When I finally got home, Yoda found me on the side walk the next morning. I had a broken jaw and two broken hips.
He rushed me to the vet and it was a wonder that I lived.By some chance I had no internal injuries. Well we were supposed to have nine lives so I guess I used up a couple them here. During my recovery, Pee Pee never left my side, he was always there licking and looking after me.
Yoda and Mimi had to feed me by eye dropper until my jaw healed and was un-wired. I hated that white neck collar that they put on me to keep me from scratching at my wired jaws and hip cast.


Well I got well from that and again was the terror of the neighborhood. Even the Dogs respected amd liked me, course I let them know that I was the boss.
It was almost six months to the day when it happened again. You know me always into something. Well this time I really did it. Some how I broke my leg in three places. This time by the time I got home it was to late. Yoda rushed me to the vet thinking that he would have to put me down. Well the vet showed him a video about three legged animals. So here I am today The Three legged wonder.

How I can't climb trees and all that, due to it being my front leg, but let me tell you this. I get along great. My left paw is as good as ever and has gotten stronger. Just ask Panda. I really have quite a left hook. So that's how I got the nick-name hop-a-long. But I still take walks with Yoda and Panda, they just go a little slower and Panda will stop and wait for me if she sees that I fall to far behind.
One other thing that people use to laugh at was when Yoda took Panda for a walk. There he was, Panda and two cats running along beside Panda. We went every where together. I also love to ride in the car but Mr. PeePee would have nothing to do with cars.


How Mr PeePee and I were almost inseparable. But he got in to the wrong crowd and started to roam. This was to be his down fall. He was chasing a cat one day and ran out in front of a car. The lady tried to miss him but he turned and was hit. The lady ran down the street, got Yoda and drove us to the vet. But Mr. PeePee died in Yoda's arms at the vets.
He was just to far gone. I miss him but I know that he is in the Heaven for all cats and dogs. I am sure that he is looking down on us right now with Bubba. Bubba was another member of Yoda's family that left us due to cancer. So to Mr. PeePee I leave this memorial.
Please click on the memorial cat Picture and visit it as well as the memorial to some other cats.


Well we all now live in Aransas Pass, Texas. I am still the King of the neighborhood, but these American Cats just don't know how to be a King. Well I was missing my brother very much and so was Mimi. A friend of hers asked her to keep this small kitten for her and guess what, Casper is how the terror of the House.
I have to put him in line every so often but then what do you expect with the common class. I really thought that they should name him spass. He is really a crazy laddie. Always into something, and that tail. You see his tail was broken when he was a wee one and before he came to live with us. But then that crook is Casper.
