He limited himself to purring with contented eyes and to rubbing himself against our legs. <BR/>A funny fact about Herman is that he was a Petunia for nearly 2 years (that is how long it took my brother to realize his lovely Petunia was a male cat).<BR/>Your Jill is just lovely!Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681951546653165197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357864507586156598.post-88265206114951023852007-11-20T18:11:00.000-05:002007-11-20T18:11:00.000-05:00Jill reminds me of Madam-X, a pregnant feral tabby...Jill reminds me of Madam-X, a pregnant feral tabby who was operating a "cat house" (so to speak) in my basement when I took her in off the streets. She lived until the ripe old age of twenty-three and out-lived the litter she presented me with a month after she moved in. Like your Jill, Madam had infinite patience with all other life forms--small humans, other cats and kittens, and even puppies and dogs of all sizes. She died in her sleep one day, curled up on her favorite sunny spot by the living room windows. She was a fine old girl and I miss her still. Thanks, BrianC, for conjuring up her memory.BooCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193638351756858614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357864507586156598.post-2206640284170017052007-11-20T17:49:00.000-05:002007-11-20T17:49:00.000-05:00I was going to say, "Wow, you've had this cat sinc...I was going to say, "<I>Wow, you've had this cat since birth???</I>" (yours) but then I see that you meant Jill's. Ok, so I'm not <I>always</I> funny. And not a cat person. But she's cute as heck. I <I>did</I> have a cat named Moze when I was a teenager. I named him after Ryan O'Neal's character, Moses Pray in <I>Paper Moon</I>. I loved him. (the cat, I mean)One Wink at a Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376243777796535015noreply@blogger.com
