This was our FILTHY FILTHY cat, Yeti.He was super cool and brought us all sorts of goodies:
cabbage leaves (both red and green), corn cobs and husks,
rose petals, coffee filters complete with grounds,
and one time, tobacco.
He used to keep Alia (pictured below) in line.
He passed away and is buried in the back yard.
Alia, we discovered after Yeti's passing, is SUPER NEEDY!All attention must be paid to her at all times...
so she thinks.
After being EXCESSIVELY ANNOYING,
we have come to somewhat of a happy medium.
Alia, hates all cats.
To Alia, she is the only cat in the world
and becomes extremely annoyed when other cats express their existence
when she is the only cat in the world.
She hated Yeti, but couldn't best him.
She frequently attacked Hammy (no photos available), Rachel's cat,
when her and Louis stayed with us for a couple of weeks.
She undoubtedly hates Jake, our new cat.
But there is one little thing about Jake
that hasn't allowed Alia to express her displeasure...yet.
Jake, photoed here, was given to us by a man whose father had passed on.Jake was a stray picked up from the Humane Society
and lived with his previous person for some six years, until his recent passing.
Shusli found Jake hiding in a closet and took a shine to the little guy.
When Jake was brought to our home,
he immediately hid under the entertainment center.
We placed him in our basement where, as if by magic...HE DISAPPEARED,
so Alia hasn't had the chance to thoroughly hate him, yet.
We looked for him all day Monday without success,
but we knew he was around because he left sign in the litter box.
Shusli finally found him Tuesday night having hid in the ducts of the furnace,
which we don't use.
Shusli placed Jake in the spare bedroom.
I found him hidden behind a painting this morning.
He is so cute.
For Jake's safety, Shusli shut Alia in the basement.
So, it was a beautiful morning with a SPECTACULAR sunrise.
Some roses were still in bloom at TGIF, a restaurant I deliver to.I get home from work to find...
Alia in the living room and the door to the basement open.
The spare bedroom door was open as well.
I searched the bedroom, bathroom, living room, basement...
no sign of Jake.
For Jake's safety, I threw Alia outside and listened in hopes of hearing some movement.
Nothing...
So I search all over again, but this time, in the bedroom, I happened to notice something...
The bed is about three inches from the wall.
I pull back the pillows and...TUH-DUH!
I would like to introduce you all to our new cat,Jake!
Also known as
The Incredible Disappearing Cat!
Now, Felicia...don't ask...
