The cat came back

ladyapple27About a year ago, I had 2 seal point cats spayed. Both of them were indoor-outdoor cats and eventually disappeared. I was especially upset over Miss Lillian, one of my special pets.
A few months ago, a female seal point showed up next door at my sister's. She wasn't an exact match for either of the missing kitties. My neighbor Charlotte took her home, but she wouldn't stay. Crystal definitely didn't want the cat, so I brought it home with me and Moma named her Sassafras. Sassafras immediately bonded with me. I wondered if she was already spayed because she wasn't pregnant and didn't go into heat. I made a spay appointment a couple of weeks back, explaining that the kitty might already be spayed. Well, she was spayed and had the green tattoo that my vet puts on animals that they spay or neuter. Miss Lillian is back! She looks a little different, but they tell me that she was a young cat, and natural aging could've deepened the color of her blue eyes and darkened her coat a bit.
She refuses to answer to Sassafras, but responds to Miss Lillian. Has to be her!
BTW, Miss Lillian is probably the only cat ever named after the namesake of an heirloom tomato.
Her favorite things are playing, eating, lying on top of the computer mouse and growling at anyone who tries to use it, walking on the keyboard, and shedding. For the rest of her nine lives, she'll sleep on my bed.

Date: 2009-04-18 03:58 am (UTC)I had my favorite cat run away on me when we first moved into this house. Deuce was the first cat a actually ever liked. He was tan and white striped and he was missing the tip of one of his ears. I miss him so much. I like my two cats I have now...but neither of them will ever be my Deucie
