our cats
What kind of librarian would I be if I didn’t have a few cats??!! ;) We actually have four three crazy cats. Mort is the oldest at 17, Pris is 16, Sarah is 10 and Harriet 9.
Update: On August 1, 2008, Pris, our little Shadout Meeps, left me, Tim, Mort, Sarah, & Harriet behind. :(
In 1992, Tim and I drove up to northern New York to attend Tim’s family reunion. We stopped in Brunswick, Georgia on the first night of our trip and ended up rescuing Pris from the hotel parking lot. She was a teeny-tiny little kitten that fit in the palm of Tim’s hand. Two boys were feeding her pizza and later that night, I saw her darting in and out from under cars in the parking lot. We picked her up, gave her a bath and took her with us the rest of the way on our trip north, where she camped with us for several days along the St. Lawrence River. We tried to find her a home with many of the family members up there but (fortunately for us!!) no takers, so she came all the way back home with us to S. Florida and the rest was history. I can’t believe that it has been 16 years since that fateful trip to NY.
Tim remembered last night (08/02) that his brother, Patrick, had asked him during our time at that family reunion, “Man, why are you trying to get rid of that cat??? That’s a good animal.” Damned if he wasn’t right. We loved her dearly and most definitely liked her more than most people we know. :)
