What a sad little story, as I sat here reading it the tears dripped down on my top and still are dripping, her pics are lovely, I once had a black and white cat like Betty, so glad she found a lovely daddy or I would be a right mess. Jean.P. I think that Betty was trying to tell me about hope, but it does come out as a sad story, too. Personally, I only know and remember the happy parts of the tale. I remember bringing home a little mewing carboard carrier from the shelter a little over 11 months ago. There were little white mittens pawing at the air holes. I opened up the box, and Betty popped up and looked around. She trotted all over the house, and I'd never seen a creature so happy and joyful - examining and rubbing on everything and trembling with excitement. She looked at me like "It's you!", and trilled and did little wheelies. From day one, she owned the house. The moment I sat down, she was in my lap. The moment I went to bed, she was on top of me, to my surprise. I knew that a cat might want to share my bed, but I didn't think that I would be slept on! Right now, she's sitting in her "seal" position, which she does when she's been in one position in my lap for a while, and one side of her body feels too hot. She really is a good kitty. |

Betty has been blessed to have a wonderful new home with lots of love. I occasionally hear of elderly people who have to give up their beloved pets; and it always breaks my heart. My son swears he will not put me in a home; that he will move heaven and earth to take care of me. And if I go, he will take care of my cats in the manner to which they are accustomed. You have a good son. I'll bet that your cats are used to quite a lot. |

How sweet! I'm sure that Betty's meowmie would be happy to know that you're
her daddy now. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

I don't know whether it's based on fact or is fictional. When I was just a little kitten, my meowmie picked me. She looked at all my brothers and sisters and said that I was the best behaved. I wouldn't tire her out or bite or scratch. She picked me up and I snuggled against her cheek and purred. From then on, my meowmie was always with me. I loved my meowmie and spent all my time with her. I would nap in her lap as she sat in her chair, and sleep on top of her when she lay in bed. She was almost always in her chair or in bed, so I never needed to sleep on anywhere but on meowmie. She told me that I was good kitten, and I purred. As I grew into an adolescent kitten, meowmie told me that my being on her all the time was bad for her circulation, but she was just kidding. She needed to rest more than before, so we spent more time napping together. Meowmie said that I was a good, quiet kitty, and that I never woke her up, except when I washed my bum while sitting on her tummy. One day, someone came to visit meowmie. Meowmie tearfully told me that we had to part. Meowmie had to go somewhere that takes care of hoomins, but places that take care of kitties are different. I was put in a carrier and I cried and cried for my meowmie. At the kitty shelter, I was put in a little cage. There were lots of strange smells and noises. There were lots of other kitties, but I couldn't see them very well because they were in their own cages. The hoomins there kept my cage very clean, and fed me good food, but I wanted meowmie, and I wanted a pillow. I used my litter pan for a pillow, even though it was kind of hard. Sometimes, people would visit. Sometimes, they would even look at me, but I stayed in the back of the cage. There was no place to hide, and it was all still very new and scary. Still, I loved it when hoomins scritched me. Meowmie had always scritched me. One day, daddy came. I didn't know yet that he was daddy. He would stay at the shelter for a long time, and he gave me lots of scritches. He told me that I was a very good and beautiful kitty, and he even took pictures of me at the shelter, and put them my own web page! http://mywebpages.comcast.net/Takayuki9z/shelter1.html Daddy finally took me home - a new home, and I was so happy! Life is like an adventure. Just like with meowmie, I sleep on daddy's lap, and on daddy's tummy, though not as much as before with meowmie. Daddy moves and plays more than meowmie did, and he seems more like another kitty than a hoomin sometimes. He showed me how to sleep in the sunshine in front of the window, how to catch bugs, and how to play with the cat dancer. So daddy is very different from how meowmie was, but I think I love them both the same. I sometimes wonder where meowmie is, and I wish I could tell her that I'm okay. |
