WHY DO I LOVE CATS?
FOR MANY REASONS
C
BECAUSE THEY ARE
CUDDILY
We all have stories about how we found or
adopted our kitties. I have had many dogs and cats throughout my life. First
I will tell you about my current family of furbabies and then I will tell
you about a very special cat that has gone to kitty heaven.
PUMPKIN
The vet said that it was glaucoma, she was
blind in the eye and it was painful. We all agreed that it would be best
to have the eye removed. It turned out to be a good idea because the eye
was malignant.
Pumpkin came through the surgery with flying
colors. However a few months later she developed diabetes. I must give her
two insulin shots per day. I am glad to say that almost two years later,
she is doing fine and I pray that she will stay that way.
Pumpkin is very cooperative and lets me take
samples of her urine for testing and is very good about her shots. She is
still beautiful, even with one eye, and the same sweet loving cat.
PEACHES
Peaches, however was a stray who wondered into
our yard. She is mostly white, has some black markings. One of the black
markings looks like a jewel on her forehead, like an Iranian princess. Peaches
has yellow eyes and is a lovable cat when she wants to be.
When we decided to adopt her we placed her
in a cage in our driveway until we could take her to the Vet. We always checked
our new cats out at the vet before we brought them in to protect our other
cats.
Well she was so content sitting in that cage.
She knew she had succeeded in convincing us to take her in and was not afraid
at all. She just sat there and groomed herself and seemed very happy. Peaches
is now about 11 years old.
FRITZI
Fritzi is about a year old now and loves to
raid the refrigerator. She does not have to worry about where her next meal
will come from.
Here she is pictured all warm and snuggly.
Sure beats laying under a bush on a rainy day.
Fritzi was considered a Ferrel. She turned
out to be one of the most loving and affectionate pets. I am glad that I
found her and added her to my family of cats.

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT
LEAST
IS MY
CUPCAKE
I held her in my arms and wished her a safe
journey as the last breath left her body.
I will never forget that day. It was truly
one of the hardest things I had to endure.
Because I held her as she passed, I think part
of her soul attached to mine and I feel her with me always. I truly loved
her and felt that she was a kindred spirit.
When she was alive, I kissed her serveral times
a day because she brought so much joy to my life. I miss her sweet voice.
She always greeted me when I entered the room by saying the cutest meow
sound.
She is now buried on my property in Pennsylvania
and I have a plaque with her name and date.
The last pictures shown below is of a cat statue
and Cupcake's gravesite. What happened was I had a blue stone cat on Cupcake's
grave. I decided to paint it to look like Cupcake. It came out so lifelike
and looked so much like her that when my husband came home and saw the statue
on the kitchen table, he almost thought that Cupcake was
back.
I guess the love in my heart came through in
my hands as I painted the statue from her photo.
I still miss her terribly even though she is
gone almost five years now.

I LOVE
CATS
A BECAUSE THEY ARE
ADORABLE
T BECAUSE THEY ARE
TERRIFIC
PUMPKIN - This female striped kitty with
perfect white markings is almost 15 years old. She is a very sweet and loving
cat. Pumpkin always had one eye slightly different than the other. We always
had it checked and were told to watch for changes. Last May, l998 we noticed
a big change in one eye.
PEACHES - We had many
litters of kittens in our yard each summer. My neighbor and I took care of
them and then brought them to an animal league where they would be adopted.
That is how I got Pumpkin.
FRITZI - This is the "baby". Two summers
ago, I took care of a litter of kittens and the mommy cat in my yard. As
the cold weather approached, I decided to adopt this one and brought the
rest of the litter to my Vet who was kind enough to spay and neuter them
and put them up for adoption. I wish I could have adopted them
all.
CUPCAKE - unfortunately
she has gone to kitty heaven. She was l7 1/2 years old when she passed over
to Rainbow Ridge. (A name for cat heaven)
