How many lives do I have now? submitted by
J.H. Flanagan
Charlie is a Honey colored, tiger-striped cat. The youngest of the 3 cats and the most spoiled. At three months old, she crawled into the refrigerator one night. I woke up about 3:00 a.m. and heard the older cats fussing. I started looking, after several minutes. I realized the oldest cat, Spade, was staring at the cold and very hungry kitten. At 6 months, I took her to the vet to be neutered. Well, Charlie, after 5 days, managed to remove her own stitches. At 9 months, in one crazy week, she managed to get herself shut in the closet, the laundry room and the dryer. That night, she got up in my lap, curled up an went to sleep. Two hours later she was playing on the rim of the bath tub and fell into the bath water. We grabbed towels, dried the wet kitten off and held her for a long time. Eventually, she left the nest of towels and the older cats finished grooming her. She still manages to get into trouble a couple times a week, but we laugh and love her up. The older cats just seem to enjoy Charlie. |

| Have you ever wondered why your cat, after you have greeted her, immediately starts grooming herself vigorously? When you petted her, you placed your scent on her hair coat. By bathing herself she is processing and interpreting your smell. |
