I know she didn't live here before since I'd been living here nearly 4 years and she was only around 3 years old. I admit, I tried to shoo her away. She wouldn't listen to me. Kept coming back. As the sun set the temps dropped into the 20 F degree area and I couldn't stand the thought of her just sitting out there. I opened the door. She cautiously entered and checked out the digs. That night she crept up on the bed, purring loudly and rather distressedly. She slept on the pillow over my head. I took pictures of her, printed and hung out flyers around the neighborhood; canvassed the area vets and shelters. No one knew where she came from. The apartment manager thought perhaps someone had moved out and left her there so she just sort of picked me to be her meowmie. Now she sleeps curled up in the crook of my waste I just love spell checkers. Don't you mean waist, Jill? Oh fer cryin out loud. Considering 'waste' is a real word, spell checker wouldn't have caught it. You have to pick on one typo when I have a lovely cat who sleeps curled up against my waist??? At least I *have* a waist. And a lovely cat. Jill I have one too, waist that is,..I won't tell who it belongs to. I agree it was not a typo, just a wrong word..., Should I go on about the use of computers, spell checkers and the written word. I have seen pictures of Persia and she is a lovely cat. I happen to have three handsome young "boys" of my own, one of which has an appointment with the vet tomorrow because he is not feeling up to par. - Hilden .. |

My dear Hilden - I am a published author and so sometimes, yes, we slip up when writing things. That's what editors are for. So thank you. As for computers, I've been doing software tech support for about 15 years. I have seen pictures of Persia and she is a lovely cat. Thank you. I agree she's a total sweet cat and I'm glad she chose me to come live with.

I have been reading the wonderful stories about your masters. All of my three were taken in by me as kittens so not much of a previous history there .. My first one, Figaro, was found at a loading dock where I used to work by a friend of mine, Her husband asked her to find it a home. That was three years ago. How he got there I don't know. I am just glad that my friend found him and got us together. Not much of a history there. My second one came as a companion for Figaro. Tito(his name) came from a friend's cat who had kittens. Introductions did not go well at first. I never knew that a cat could growl so loud! They are buds now The third one was found under my front stoop along with his two sisters, who I took to vet for initial checkup...etc and then found homes for. They were probably placed there by the Mother Cat and she never returned. He was the last one I caught. At $65.00 a pop for the vet check-up and first round of shots I decided to keep him. I am glad that I have them all, or should I say, that I am glad that they have me - Hilden |
