We started
out with one female cat whom we have named, Freeway, as she
was found on the highway so the name seemed to fit her to
perfection. She created a special place in all our lives but
she had not been spade to keep her from becoming a Momma.
Once she got out of the house by accident, she became
pregnant.
We waited
and waited as we saw her become more lazy and acquire quite
a tummy. Finally, the day arrived when she delivered six
little kitties. She was a super Mom and the kitties were
adorable. There were not two kitties alike except a couple
of them came close to being like their Momma who is a
calico.
Each one
of the kitties had their own personalities and their own
coat. We found names for each one of them. The first born we
named Bubba even though we were not sure if she was a he or
a she. Bubba was the fattest with a white coat with dabs of
black. Then we had Popeye who was mostly black with marks
around the eyes which made us think of Popeye. Then we had
one which was solid black whom we called, what else,
Blackie. We called the larger of the two calico coated
kitties, Princess, and the smaller of the two we called
Imogene. The last one which we kept we called Tiger Lil as
she was tiny but very determined. She has a beautiful
black/gray striped coat. She has wormed herself into our
hearts and causes her Momma to play like another kitten. I
have never heard of a cat that could 'fetch' but she has
proven that to be untrue.
She will
only 'fetch' back to the person who starts the game until a
new game starts by another one.
One of the
things that endeared Tiger Lil to us is the fact that she
was the first to climb out of the box which they had been
calling home. Thank you little gal for being our kitten and
I pray that all of your sisters/brothers, whichever they
maybe, have found good homes.
