Torie is the "purr"fect cat and is 9 years old. She is a beautiful black and white cat. You can do anything to Torie and she doesn't care -- just so she is with you! She is my personal assistant. She is by my side when I'm on the computer, on top of the paper when I'm trying to read it and on my lap when I sit down! She patiently sits and waits for her meals.
Kaylee just turned 3 and our petsitter calls her a "tornado on 4 legs"! She is tortoiseshell on her back and has a calico belly! So Cute! She is into everything and tries to eat her cat food as it comes out of the can! The funny thing is my Mom didn't want a 2nd cat and Kaylee is her baby!!
I adopted Torie when she was 4 months old and my late father was in a nursing home. She went to the nursing home almost every day. The attendants grabbed her as we came in the door and took her to several patient's rooms and then finally to Dad's room. She loves to be on the kitchen counters and I blame that on the fact that we weren't home a lot in those days! I have tried everything to break this habit but nothing has worked!
I was raised on a farm and we had lots of farm animals. We had barn cats but you couldn't touch them! We also had dogs. In fact, my Dad raised Boston Terriers and they put me through college! We also had a cocker spaniel that was the best outfielder! What can I say, I was raised in the country and we there wasn't enough neighborhood kids to make up a team! But, we had a ball!
I switched to cats when I moved to the DC area. I worked too many hours to have a dog. Torie and Kaylee are my 3rd and 4th cats that are tuly a member of our household.

That is a lovely, lovely story, Sable. You should write a memoir.
