MCWC: Cat Pictures & More: Turn The Page

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Hello everyone! I don't know if you'll all remember me or not, my name is Hobo and my pop wrote the story "Doesn't Anyone Care?" about how he and my mama rescued me after I'd been abandoned.

Anyway, I wanted to come back and tell you how I've been doing since then. Purr-fectly cat-tastic in everyway! My folks refer to me as their "miracle kitten" because within one week of their taking me home with them I grew strong and healthy. I actually started getting fat!

My broken leg healed up completely and I now run and play with the other kittens of the Kenney Clan. And spoiled! Oh, it's simply heaven for me! I get all the love and attention a kitten could ask for!

I like to keep myself full, so, I eat all day long. If you've ever gone weeks without eating, you'll understand...I don't ever want to experience hunger again. Of course, even my life isn't all cat food and cream! There is Macintosh to avoid at every opportunity! What's that? ... Who is Macintosh, you ask?

Oh, sorry, where are my manners? Goodness! He's the family Giant Schnauzer and although he means well he tends to get just a wee bit carried away with all of us cats and kittens! How so?...Well, he chases us for one thing. It's just awful! I'm here to tell you that you haven't lived until you've been chased by a dog that's the size of a horse!

Shoot, even pop refers to him as "The Scottish Pony." That's bad! He also likes to drop a paw down on top of our necks if he catches us. I don't know what in the world pinning us down does for him but he seems to enjoy it...we've all learned to "play dead". He loses interest then and moves his paw so we can run for cover!

Other times he'll put our heads in his mouth! Oh, of course just one at a time but...what in the world is that all about? Beats me! But then he is a dog, so, I guess, I shouldn't expect much from him. (They're not very bright, you know!)

We have other Schnauzers in the family but they're all smaller. I think they're known as "Miniature" ... is that the right word for it? Anyway, they're a lot nicer to all of us cats and kittens.

So, I guess that about sums up my life...I'm very loved and very happy. I don't care too much for strangers. We cats have learned to be wary of strangers...it's just not a safe world, anymore, you know?

So, take care of yourselves and if you don't already share your life with God's greatest creation... the cat... do go right out and adopt yourself to one!

We all need a human to pamper and worship us!

Most Sincerely,

Hobo Kenney-Kitten

P.S. If my life ever becomes more exciting, I'll definitely come back and tell you about it, okay? So, don't stray far!
