We moved into this house 14 years ago and instantly got mice in our house. My mom obviously didnt like that and wanted to do something about it. ( Dont worry im going somehwere with this). So we went to our aunt's farm- she just had a cat that had kittens- and she opened the door and told us to grab one. We got the very last one, she was the slowest and runt of the litter.
Our kitty's name was Tawney. When we were little we called her Tawney Boots Gleed because when she was little she used to hide in my dad's boots in the garage.
One time she was lost and we looked EVERWHERE for her, we put flyers up around the neighborhood and eventually we found her in the garage in the boots
She used to bring dead animals like birds and mice to the front door all the time wanting to bring them in but of course we never would let her, it was gross just to see them in her mouth
She always was purring, even when we took her to the vet for the absist, she was sitting there on the table just purring away.
She absolutely loved anyone that would give her attention. If you let her sit on your lap you were her favorite for the rest of the day. She would follow you around and everything.
She always slept in my sister's room even though she was technically my mom's cat.
She used to sleep in the oddest places when she was little. She would be in the middle of the floor or on the window, she used to get on the table and sleep there. When she got older she used to get too tired and just sorta sit where she was. sometimes in the middle of the floor in the kitchen she used to sleep on the heater.
If you didnt let her sleep on her lap she would get as close as she could without actually being on you. One time my sister wouldnt let her sleep on her so she made sure on of her paws was on my sister.
She had the bluest eyes for a siamese kitty and she was so small we have a picture of her when she used to be fat but still so tiny. Everyone said she was the prettiest cat theyve ever seen
She used to have a sinus problem and would just sneeze and sneeze and sneeze it was kinda funny.
Sometimes she thought she was a dog probably cuz thats the only other animals around here are dogs. She would eat their food and everything. She didnt like other cats though, she was very territorial
i grew up with this cat so it was hard to wake up yesterday and know that im never gonna be able to see her or have her purring on my lap. I keep expecting to hear she walk across the carpet, her claws would keep getting caught. I just wanted to keep seeing her. We buried her yesterday out by the shed around the same area that her kittens that didnt make it are.
Unfortunately i dont have any pictures on my computer of her but she was a gorgeous funny annoying and amazing cat. Its gonna be weird not having her here anymore.
till next time, jodi
