It Looks Like I Slept In A Raspberry Patch... An Update on the Little Deaf Kitty.

[brewens]

30. I haven't had a kitten since I was a kid. All my cats have been strays and one that was

abondoned at my girlfriends cafe. We knew who "Fatty's" owners were. They didn't deserve him back so I brought him home with me. They had taken off and left him to fend for himself I guess. The girl found out from other cafe customers but I told her no way. We were already buddies and I had spent some money on vet bills to make sure he was all good. I would have demanded her covering that at least had I even considered giving him back. She wouldn't have.

Fatty was as friendly a cat as you could imagine and he was a load! A big 'ol half Siamese lovey bunch! After three years he developed kidney disease. He wasn't as old as most cats that get that, we had no clue why. I wondered if he could have been poisoned or something before I got him?

It took a couple of years for another one to find me. A big 'ol feller with hair collored yeller that I call Scram. He got that from my girlfriends son-in-law. That's what he said when Scram first came around his house. My girlfriend rescued him, cleared up an eye infection and got him healthy. We don't live in the same town but on my next visit he came home with me.

Scram is a yellow tabby. I had always liked those cats. He wasn't quite full grown when I got him though I thought he was. He's a big dude. The size of his head is amazing for a cat but from what I hear, it's not that unusual for them to get that big.
