CatScan Right:
This picture of Tiger Lou was made in February 2003. She had been the only cat since Tiger Sue was killed in February and Blackie, who was mostly a visitor, left us a short time before. But that all changed on May 2, 2003. Read the rest of the story below.Left Above:
Kitty Sue came to us on May 2, 2003. This photo was taken July 7, 2003.
We had one cat on May 2, 2003, but just minutes later we had a second cat. Our electrician came out at 9:00 oclock to do some work. He told me as I greeted him that he had stopped at Home Depot and when he got back to his truck he heard a kitten crying. He could not find it. I heard it right away and found it under a lot of material and fittings in the back of his truck. She was no more than a month old.
Left Above: One Cat or three? The picture above is Tiger Lou in October 2002 at about five months. We were told she was born in May 2002. Next Above: Sitting on the floor is Teresa, our cat specialist, working with Tiger Lou. Margie is sitting behind her. The photo in the middle above, made the next month - June 2003 - will attest to the care Tiger Lou gave Kitty Sue. Note fourth photo above showing the cats resting together in July 2004. The far right photo above shows Kitty Sue as of May 2005 Kitty Sue was tiny and had a winning look about her and I was hoping Tiger Lou would accept her. We gave her food and water. She adjusted rapidly to our household and became a member of the family right away. On May 3rd I took her into the livingroom to visit Tiger Lou. Tiger Lou hissed at her and the little cat hissed back. It wasnt long until they accepted each other. For proof look at the photo in the middle of the group above.
