MY STORY

I came into Momma’s life about a year after her Grandpa died.  She was at the pet store buying cat food and I was for sale.  The story is that I came from a Persian breeder’s house and my face is too long and my tail is too short.  I was $50 which Momma thought was a good deal because the feline leukemia tests and shots are that much.

I came to live with Momma and six other cats so I was kind of aggressive.  I have never been too much of a snuggler.  Momma says I am so mean she is going to take me out in the woods.  Of course she has not done that.  I am a lot like Momma, when things are going my way, I am very sweet but when they don’t, watch out.  I also love to call mouse with pieces of paper.  

I am not a very good groomer and I tend to mat.  Momma and Daddy have to comb me out every now and then.  Not fun for any of us.  I have been to the vets twice to get shaved.  

I was very close to Brendan and when he died, Momma thought I seemed kind of lost.  I am much closer to Daddy than to Momma, he tolerates me better, just like he tolerates Momma. 

Momma says I am the only one that comes to the door to greet her when she comes home and I don’t expect anything.  I also run and get food every time she comes in the house. 

In August 2006, I was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. I currently enjoy my days by myself in the front bedroom where it is nice and quiet and warm just the way I like it. Momma and Daddy come to see me frequently to feed, groom and cuddle me.

On October 16, 2006, I passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I was a fighter but my cancer eventually got bad enough where I could not eat. I will miss my Momma and Daddy as I know that they miss me.
