| I had 4 cats which are rather goofy. They won't let you hold them.... They won't let you pet them... They pet you...... Our black and white mamma cat was the first one that my sweet sheppard brought out the first night we were going hunting, She brought out 5 kittens all together but we put them back in the bushes so their mamma could tend to them. We didnt see her again till the day we were allowed to take the dogs hunting with us. She was about 3 weeks old then. We figured she would be ok till we came back. When we got back from hunting, there she was. We weren't getting rid of her then. She basically told me we were stuck with her. I bottle fed this hungry lil thing till she was old enough for solids. She has been very independant since. Cats, cats, cats, and one more cat. I have the story of momma cat but I have yet to add those stories about her kittens. Seems about the time mamma was a full grown cat she ended up with kit. We decided to keep the litter and welcomed three new tabbies into the world. We had the whole litter spayed later on and now are no going to have but only cat, cat, cat, and one more cat. They all came out different shades of gray stripes. Light, Medium, and Dark Ger. 2 females and a male. I thought for sure momma had them outside and was hiding. Then I heard this lil mew from the dresser. I looked and there were 3 squirming balls of fluff. She had squeezed under the drawer and up into a center one to have the kittens. They stayed there till we got a box to put them in. The box had an opening in the front of it with a lip on it about 10 inches high. Man, o, man momma cat would get upset if a baby poked its head over that box. She would slap at them to get back home. Now days they are older cats just eating and sleeping but they have their moments. We are lucky our cats aren't people friendly and they don't lay all over ya when you are sitting on the couch. They keep to themselves and occasionally they will howl to get let outside. They will pet you with their tails on the way in or out. Our pets aren't outdoor fed because we have a varmint problem with raccoons and the like eating their food. Light greet tabby is my favorite out of the group. She's the one that slightly resembles a real cat. She is the gourmet, she eats people food. Dinner time is when I know I am her best friend. She likes to sleep at the base of our bed on my feet. Medium Gray Kitty is our male. He's just plain weird, let me say. He walks in and then all of a sudden he's peeking under the rug. He loves to play with unlit firecrackers and stuff them under the throw rugs we have. Makes walking on them very interesting...What is that???? Dark gray kitty is the loner. She doesn't want to be bothered by any of the nonsense unless I have a toy out. Then she is out for blood on the other two cats. I give her the tip to her tail now and then cause she likes to nibble and clean it some. I like to call my vacuuming hide the cats. We went to one hunting trip that was going to take us away for three days. We got their litter box ready, filled the dishes, water and food and we left. Upon our return I heard this weird noise. I looked in and the food hadn't been touched. That noise was the vacuum. Apparently they had turned it on the night we left and had been in safe spots ever since. Next time I unplug the vac, poor babies. It took me over an hour to find them. *********************************************** They were so cute as babies, but the old shepard dint think so. If they got close to her she would put her mouth over them like she was gonna eat them and bark a hollar at them. Oh, those poor babie kitties, they were in the mouth of that grouchy monster. Ha Ha...she was all talk. The chow we have now they love They like to rub up against her in a greeting. Its nice to see dogs and cats that get along......, Since the move to the new house, mamma cat is missing. I hope she can find a good place to lay up but if she doesn't come home I am gonna beat her....lol good luck mamma where ever u are.............we miss u and love u and hope u are safe.....

| I wanted to write a little bit more about the animals I have and the ones that have blessed my life....been quite a zoo at times and I have learned and loved so much these gifts of nature....Boy Kittie....sweet, guy cat is one in our Florida home..Cute grey Tabby. He's the medium grey one. He looks up at you and on this sweet face is an I think I wanna get sick look...Does it everytime...Wonder why he does that....Momma kittie is being her regular ferril self hissing at the other cats as they go in or out the front door......Oh the cats of days gone by......I used to have a cat that was a little more broad in personality. Kia, would play fetch. Fetch with the top off a 2 liter soda bottle. Throw this across the room and she would go get it and scramble with it a minute....Turning to the lid inner side she would grab the lip in her teeth and bring it back to your feet. but that was if you were stretched out on a couch. She usually dropped 4 feet from where your hand was...FeeEeeelines...... |

My beloved Tess....Today is the first of many days I'll miss you most. I sat at dinner and finally ate in peace. Where were you to bother me? No morsels to offer you to bait you away from my plate. No creeping tentacle tail in my dinner. There is a window near the dinner table and you sat there at supper and enjoyed a lil plate of your own. This year was your first year of winter. You quickly learned how warm it is under the covers... I rocked you to sleep when you were a kitten. Mose of the day you would want to be on my lap. That is until you were spayed. That was an interesting day. I tried to keep you in a cardboard box but you bravely busted out of it and rode like a car cat should. I shall miss your curious sparkly cat ways. Were you ever to know you were my princess cat? Did you know the joy you brought me? Ladder Cat................... I know that you are with my other critter pals in the home on high. I know you are loved and you have company. You will not be forgotten my feline friend. Brother and Sister miss you Tessla..... And so do I! |
