Guest Blog: Country Cats...

Guest blog. This is my girlfriend's cat story. I've never seen more photogenic cats in my life. The pictures here are of Betty (black) and Jack. Here are her words:

Here's our story......

I'm a Siamese cat lover from way back. I've had several throughout the years. Currently our household consists of an 18 year old Seal Point Max, a 3 year old Chocolate/Seal Point Sunny and a 1 year old Flame Point Jack. All existing peacefully together - indoors only. Flash back to late September last year and a solid black cat came to our back door - asking politely but frantically to come in (we live in the country and folks tend to drop off their unwanted pets on occasion). Well, we certainly couldn't just ignore this cat so with food and water dish in hand, we went out to tend to her needs. A delicate and personable young female who clung like a burdock! We kept her in our garage to make sure she was safe from the coyotes and any other dangers while we posted ad's with her picture looking for her owners. Surely this wasn't a drop-off but a family cat who snuck out??? But the days went by and we got no response. This little gal with the whiskey voiced meow wormed her way into our hearts. We contacted the TNR folks who took her - did their thing and brought her back to us (telling us what a sweetie she was) - because we didn't intend to keep her - she wasn't SIAMESE! Well........we ended up having her tested prior to allowing her into our 'group' to make sure she was disease free and VOILA - she's joined our family. A skinny but loving stray has captured our hearts! Her name is Betty and her pictures show how she's enjoying being the Queen of the pack!
