Report on "Where-Else"Silver ButtonWood
Most news lately seems to be kinda depressing....nasty neighbors, deceased
pets and accident victims, money-laundering DH's, actually makes the "farting cats" thread seem cheerful! Here's a happy report from me purrrrsonally: made the monthly visit to "Where-Else" to pay bill the other day....looked for Silver, the resident aging gray-striper who lives in the "garden shop", attended to and nourished and loved by employees of same, as I reported some time ago. Didn't see him; cashier lady (his most devoted slave there) pointed to her counter near the register: there he was, belly up, snoring away, with his pink tongue sticking way out of his half-open mouth! I said, "My God, if I only had a camera, I'd put him up for the cat newsgroup to see! They know all about him!" At that, she lifted up a small oblong plastic container from under the counter and began eating from it.....he started awake and loomed up in her face, sniffing the container and meowing like a baby. I had never seen him in that state before....sometimes, when a large group of kids are near him, he gets testy, but this was a new side to Silver's character! The lady reached into the container, fished out a largish hunk of breaded chicken, and deposited it in his food bowl on the nearby floor. I had never realized his true huge size before....with a graceful leap, he soon attacked the chicken piece his slave had offered, sharing her dinner with him. I mentioned how plump he is as well as how relaxed, and she stated, "We do love him, all of us here." I replied, "I know" and strolled out to my truck, the sounds of Silver munching his treat fading in my ears. |

I am glad this poor kitty found a proper slave -- isn't that what life is all about? The ones I worry about and pray (purr) for are the lost, the sick, the mistreated ones -- if we don't hear about them then we don't know where to direct caring thoughts. However the success stories (Silver) like cream, rise to the top. Best purrs and prayers today for those furry ones in Isabel's path who have no slaves to look after them....may they find shelter from the storm. |

Best purrs and prayers today for those furry ones in Isabel's path who
have no slaves to look after them....may they find shelter from the storm. That's a good thought. I also always think about the furry ones anytime I hear about disasters...fires, tornadoes, hurricanes. There are groups that actually go into communities to help with rescue of pets separated from owners, as well as unowned ones. Rather like an animal Red Cross I guess. Sherry |
