I have had a long line of mutt cats .
Sachamo was all deep chocolate . When he got me he could curl up in my palm . 17# of adult Tom cat with a mane ...... He had this real long thick hair just like a lion . The oldest boy , about 2 , pulled him in the tube with him ........from that moment forward there was no peace in the shower or bath because he wanted to be in it with you . When it was time to get up he'd come in and lean on the bed purring it made me sick to my stomach every time . He loved car rides too . In fact I can't think of a cat like thing that cat ever did .......maybe landing on his feet .
These days there's Kitty .
She takes being a cat very very seriously .
I'm not one for superstition especially .
Kitty has about 7 white hairs on her . There are no spots , stripes or lines of any sort to be seen in any light , she is black all over completely . She came to me in a tree probably chased there by coyotes outside an upstairs hallway window about 3am on November 1st , 2008 , under a very full super moon , probably a blue moon in hindsight . She wouldn't leave so I stuck the dogs crate over the steam grate outside with an ice storm pending ......on the 16th I gave up , brought her in , called the vet and she's been sleeping on my feet or in my arm curve 3-5 nights a week since . I don't have one good picture of her . They are all either blurred or blanked by her eyes reflection . I think I've had maybe 5 nightmares and 2 mice since she came along . I guess I'll keep her another decade if she wants to stay .
Can't say as much for wives ......... Got a pretty good woman these days she can stay as long as she wants too . She hunts a little , camps out , keeps the larder full and feeds me too well . Puts up with my nonsense , dog and cat . Keeps the books mostly in the black and gives me all sorts of grief about being broken after the first 2 got done with me ........ Whatever romantic mush is over rated and I told her once , I'll let her know if anything changes . I might even buy her a ring if she hangs around a couple more years .
