TC siamese


TC just appeared one day.

In learning how to download pictures to my post-as it is called- I pulled this photo from my desk top.  Have to figure out how to retrieve them from Iphoto!

TC did just appear one day when he seemed to be about 3 months old.  Somehow he knew  that he would be taken in without question.  What a love he was - and the only kitten I ever knew whose tail touched his head when he walked.  Alas it wasn't my house he came to but Susan and Eddie's!  I do believe there is something invisible to us that leads cats to certain houses particularly where Susan and Eddie live.  He wasn't the first by any means and not the last .   The next cat arrived a year or so later, fully pregnant, and ready to give birth which she proceeded to do the very next morning after Susan left for school.  She teaches morning classes and Eddie teaches in the afternoon at Johnson & Wales Culinary University.  This left Eddie and Isabelle, their dog, to be midwives to the birth of 6 kittens.  I'm not kidding.  They performed admirably with Isabelle helping the mother , later named Jinxy, clean up the kittens.  The runt had to be eye dropper and bottle fed to survive and was named Peanut who turned out to be a munchkin.  You know, short legs, staying small.  The other kittens were eventually adopted by adoring families with Peanut and her mother joining Sprout who was a former doorstep adoptee and the last of the brood of 7.  So if you are a cat in need of a home just appear at Susan and Eddies.!!

Bulletin just in!  The monster feline, Ralphie, next door got into a terrible fight early this morning with TC and tore into him pretty badly, Susan said.

TC seems to be OK, maybe just a little worn out yesterday. Thanks for the concern for your grandcat.

You're really getting the hang of this blogging. The picture thing will come easier, just like anything you practice. I wonder who the patron saint of computers is?

So glad TC is not badly inured.

Fraid we're out of luck with patron saints.
