MORE CAT STORIES

WHEN WE FIRST GOT THIS LITTLE BLACK CAT HE WAS 8 WEEKS OLD WE ALREADY HAD 2 CATS , BUT, OUR 12 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER CAME TO VISIT AND FELT SHE NEEDED A PET WHILE STAYING WITH US. SINCE WE ARE NOT DOG LOVERS, WE HAD TO DECIDE WHAT KINDA PET I TRIED FOR A GOLDFISH OR A GUINEA PIG OR HAMSTER, BUT NO GO, FINALLY SHE DECIDED A CAT WOULDN'T BE TOO BAD AND IT COULD INTEGRATE WITH OUR OTHER TWO CATS WITH MINIMAL HASSLE.
SO SHE AND I WENT SHOPPING FOR A CAT THE POUND HAD ONLY FERAL CATS AND SICK ONES AND THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND ANY OF THEM SO WE LOOKED IN THE PAPER... NO KITTENS NO WHERE, SO WE DECIDED THE ONLY WAY WE WERE GOING TO GET A KITTEN WAS TO STEAL ONE ON THE STREETS HAHHA.
ONLY, WE COULDN'T FIND ANY. SO I FOUND A FREE NEWS PAPER WITH FOR SALE ITEMS IN IT AND THERE WERE KITTENS FOR SALE $10 EA
WE WENT THERE IMMEDIATELY AND ASKED FOR A FEMALE THE LADY HANDED THIS LITTLE GRAY BALL TO US WITH A ZIPPER ACROSS HIS SPINE AND WE FELL IN LOVE SHE SAID IT WAS A GIRL.. WELL, IT WASN'T.
DANGIT WE WERE DISAPPOINTED , BUT BY THEN KITTY HAD MADE HIMSELF A P LACE IN THE FAMILY, HE RAN TO THE FOOD BOWL AND ATE WHENEVER HE WANTED TO THE OTHER TWO GROWN CATS WERE NERVOUS OF HIM. THEY STEPPED BACK AND LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE WANTED. HAHAH

IN TIME HIS COAT TURNED PURE BLACK WITH YELLOW EYES AND THE ZIPPER WAS GONE WE NAMED HIM ZIPPER BECAUSE OF THE ZIPPER ON HIS SPINE AND HE ZIPPED AROUND FAST AS LIGHT.

HE STILL RUNS FAIRLY FAST BUT I NOTICED HE HAS A BIT OF TROUBLE CLIMBING THE FENCE TO GET OVER IT ARTHRITIS IS SETTING IN.

HE IS 12 YEARS OLD I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS IN HUMAN YEARS BUT WE HAD ONE CAT WHO LIVED TO BE 20 SO WE WILL SEE. OUR GIRL CAT WAS KILLED AT AGE 12 DUE TO AN INCURABLE INFECTION IN HER SPINE. OR SO THE VET SAID. WELL SHES DEAD AND SHE WAS A DARLING CAT WE REALLY REALLY LOVED HER. A CALICO.

MY SON FOUND HER ABANDONED IN A FIELD IN THE COUNTRY AND PUT HER IN HIS BACKPACK HE CARRIED HER IN THERE ON HIS MOTORCYCLE AND FED HER WITH AN EYE DROPPER SHE WAS SO TINY. WHEN HE MOVED TO NYC HE LEFT HER WITH US AND WE CLAIMED HER. WE LEARNED TO LOVE HER A LOT SHE HAD SOME FERAL TENDENCIES BUT WE MANAGED TO TAME HER ENOUGH TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER.

WE HAVE PICTURES OF HER STILL SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. WE ALSO HAD THIS OLD YELLOW TABBY WHO MOVED IN WITH US WHEN WE LIVED IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF SACRAMENTO. HE WAS A SWEET CAT VERY GENTLE AND TOLERANT, KIDS COULD HOLD HIM WITH NO FEAR. HE DIED AT AGE 20 WELL, WE HAD HIM MERCIFULLY KILLED . HE HAD LIVER AND KIDNEY FAILURE AND WEIGHED ABOUT 3 LBS HE WAS SO WEAK.
HIS NAME WAS SCHRODINGER NAMED AFTER A PHYSICIST NAMED SCHRODINGER.
