Holly is Sweet Sixteen
Holly is “sweet sixteen” now...or will be in a couple of days, on June 1.
My sweet girl is an unbelievable sixteen years old. She came into my life when she was only 6 months old, and she has been my loving (and greatly loved) girl ever since. We often referred to her as “the black tornado” earlier in her life because she would attack any other cat in my vicinity, but she has adapted beautifully to Duffy. She is truly my shadow kitty–anywhere I go, she is sure to follow. She does make it a bit awkward to work on the computer because she immediately sits on the left of the keyboard as soon as I sit down to work. But what a great excuse not to accomplish very much! ;o) Holly’s name is a condensed version of “Holiday Cat” because I adopted her between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays (actually, the day after Thanksgiving in 1995). She had been named Jinx when I adopted her simply because she is black and was therefore seen as “bad luck.” I could not accept that. She needed a more loving name, so she soon became Holly. Holly still has the nightly routine that I described in an earlier message--I will hear a low-pitched “moaning” sound, look up, and there is Holly headed toward me with her gift. It is always the same little red mouse, and she will find it and bring it to me no matter where it is in the house. She has worn out several of them, but she heads right for the red mouse of that same type whenever I replace it. There was a time a few months ago when I realized that she had stopped bringing it to me. Then I “cleaned out” Duffy’s bed (where he buries large numbers of toys by pushing them down into the seam). I found Holly’s mouse there, and she came dashing across the room to grab it as soon as I pulled it out of Duffy’s bed! That evening, she went back to her regular routine and brought it to me.

Her eyes are so big and round, and from the profile pic she looks to have a really short muzzle. Such a special pretty girl. Sherry |
