Feb 18, Quarters the cat...

by Kathy
(Berwyn,Illinois)

QUARTERS

Five years ago my children and I decided to get a cat.

An add in the paper said to a good home FREE kittens, so we made the call hopped in the car and arrived, There sat the kittens, the owner right off the bat stated "that the white one wasn't on the market" So there I saw the little tuxedo kitten, I picked him up and he meowed and bit my finger! I instantly fell in love with him!

So as we drove home with our new kitten it was time to figure out what to name him, most of the names we came up with were so common until out of the back seat my daughter who was 4yrs old at the time yells out How about "Quarters"? So my son and I asked why Quarters and she said because he looks like a Quarter!

So now my little guy is in the hospital for a week straight, he had to have surgery due to blockages, he is doing well and I can't wait to go get him and bring him home.

Quarters is more than just a cat to us! He is Family, always there to cheer you up in life's ups & downs. He is very vocal and voices his opinion, smart, witty, loves to cuddle under the blankets and will even steal your spot on the couch when you get up.

We would be lost with out him!

Aug 6, Popcorn, the rescued cat

by Jennifer

Here's Popcorn's petfinder picture

After having several different pets over the past years, we decided to bring a cat into the family. While looking at our local shelters, we found a few different cats to take a closer look. We tried to focus on the ones that were a priority. The first (& only) cat was a 3yr old neutered white shorthaired cat named Popcorn.
He has only been w/ us for alittle over a week but he's been a great addition to the family. He's very laid back and tolerates our dog (who happens to be a black lab mix female). It seemed inevitable to adopt a white cat considering that our dog was black and the 2 guinea pigs we have one is all black & the other is all white. :)

Feb 19, Weebles

by Dot Luckey
(Mansfield, CT, US)

I had a wonderful white cat named Weebles. She had one bluish and one greenish eye. She was gentle, affectionate, sympathetic and sometimes capricious. Her male companion, Henry T. Adios, teased her repeatedly and she hissed and fumed and made quite a fuss, but if he walked by without teasing her she was obviously miffed. If I was feeling under the weather, Weebs would simply lie next to me in bed and 'be there'. She also gave birth to three daughters in my bed - I had prepared a nice snuggly box for her, but this is a waste of time as no self-respecting cat will use a place she has not herself chosen. The little ones were all white with 1-50 tufts of darker hair on the head, so there was no telling who the father was.

Henry was a voracious hunter, and brought gifts in through the cat door when we lived in Florida - one morning it was a headless king snake, still thrashing about,and one fine evening I found the bottom half of a small hare under the bed.

Both Weebs and Henry passed away in 2002, at 14 and 13 years of age respectively. I miss them every day.

Always a cat lover, Weebles8

Jul 4, Trixi

by Karin
(Washington State)

Trixi came to us via a shelter, and from Day 1 she stole our hearts. What attracted her to us was her inquisitive and lively personality, and we were not mistaken in our choice.

Trixi is a loving cat: she loves laps, sleeping on my laptop, the laser pointer, tuna, any box, open or closed, and being with her family of two retired people. She's bold in her conversation, and often has a lot to say when she wants something. We know she would dearly love to go outdoors, but alas...that is not to be.

We never thought she would become a part of our little family so quickly and endearingly. We expect many years with our darling little girl since luckily, she's only two years old.

Jun 19, Oreo - A Very Special Cat

I have a tuxedo cat named Oreo. He has always been there for me. Out of all the kittens in the litter he was the only one who was black and white he also had a black nose and black paws. My grandma always called him a skunk though. But he's getting really old now because I've had him from when I was 4 and he's always someone I would talk to. I love him with all my heart.
