Gasp! My father has a kitten!
AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Another cat slave is born! They'll do it
to the most unlikely people sometimes! ; Hugs, CatNipped "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... My father has a kitten! This is shock because: My father has a blind poodle who hates cats (Mozart). My father has a Pekipoo (Angel). My father has a LARGE dog in the back yard (Muffin - really). My father has never been interested in cats. The kitten started out being abandoned by its mother on a neighbor's property. The neighbor threw the nearly-newborn kitten over the fence into my dad's back yard. Muffin picked the kitten up and brought it to my dad, licking her chops the whole time that my dad examined the kitten, who didn't even have her eyes open yet. Well, my dad bathed the kitten, took it to the vet, bought abandoned-kitten supplies at PetSmart, and named her Lucy. Lucy is now three months old, and is a very beautiful, very spoiled calico girl. She and Angel think they are sisters. Mozart pretty much ignores Lucy, but doesn't care for her. Muffin stays outdoors. Lucy has been given all her shots, has a pretty little red collar with rhinestones on it to match her princess status (grin), and already has scads of toys. My dad has even bought a "How to Raise Cats" book (boy, won't he be surprised - evil grin), when he finds that cats raise us. He asked me "Did you ever see me having a cat?" (No, I didn't). And he tells me that he has never had a cat as a pet (he is almost 70). I didn't take my camera, but I will on Christmas. Here is my best description: Lucy is a three-month old calico girl kitty with mainly white fur, overlaid with black and orange (mostly on her back and rump). She has a patch of striped orange under one front leg, and her tail is sort of banded with black, orange and white. She is a short hair, with incredibly soft fur, and incredibly sharp teeth and claws (and fits the homicidal muffin description perfectly - grin). She has a very kissable, but well-protected (by teeth and claws - grin) tummy. Every now and then, she walks up to my dad, jumps or climbs on his lap, puts her front paws on his chest, then leans her head forward for a kiss, after which she will curl up close by and nap. She follows my dad everywhere he goes, listens closely to everything he tells her, and picks things up very quickly. It is obvious that she adores my dad, and that he adores her. Hugs and Purrs, Mark |
How nice!
When my mother was getting close to 80 she started talking to my sister and I about her cat. She needed to feed it, clean the litter box, etc. We both just flat assumed mom was getting senile. (Which was true) She lived alone in an apartment in an assisted living center that didn't allow pets, unless it was a small cat or dog you already had when you moved in and then only as long as that pet lived and you were able to care for it. Imagine our surprise when I visited and was talking to the lady that ran the center's beauty shop. It was her cat. She had taken to bringing it to work with her and the residents were crazy about it. Especially my (not a cat person thank you) Mom. And Mom had kept the cat over the weekend on many occasions when the lady who owned it went out of town. Jo "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ...

Wow, congratulations to your dad for finally being adopted by the superior species! I suppose it's never too late. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Isn't it funny when a formerly non-cat person becomes one of the owned? My FIL was so funny when they visited us after Rob's operation. He'd be in the bathroom shaving and Pine Cone would be sitting on the bathroom counter watching FIL put lather on his face and scrape it off. Pine Cone thought that it was SO fascinating that one would try to get rid of the face fur, let alone do it by putting stuff on your face. Rob, incidentally, uses an electric razor. Pam S. |

My father has a kitten! [snip adorable story] That's really great! I love stories about people who never cared for cats suddenly becoming smitten with one - converts are the most zealous. :) Your dad sounds like a great guy. He should read the book "My Cat Spit McGee", by Willie Morris. It's about a guy who... well, who never liked cats until he married a cat person, and ended up rescuing a newborn kitten during birth - who became his beloved kitty companion, Spit McGee. Oh, and please pass on the worst of my 3 cats' litterbox offerings to the horrible neighbor who tossed a completely helpless, nearly newborn baby over a fence into a yard - with a huge dog, no less!

That's wonderful!
