Henry was sooooo small when we got him at the Humane Society. My red cat Ginger has recently died and I love red cats. I think he was about 6 weeks, so small with such a big MEOW. I swear he said "Pick me, pick me"
WE got two cats that day. Including Lucy, she was a bit of an odd ball. She is very pretty, "when you are very pretty you do not have to be smart." That's what my daughter said.... Lucy is still odd, I do not think she had been properly socialized. You get three pats max; she would have made a good solitary pet.
We had removed the carpeting and were going to have another installed. The basement door is about 2" higher because of the removed carpet. The first day I had the two kitten sleep in the basement; their bed, litter box and food/water dishes were down there. They came up when one of us were home and down for the night.
One night, I put the two of them to bed and I could hear meowing and then some scratching. To this day, I do not know how Henry did it, but he crawled under that door in the 2" space. I heard the noise and next thing I knew there he was walking across the living room and I swear he was smiling.....He only did that one and the problem was self resolving because in about a week he got to big to do it again. After I knew they could climb the steps the graduated to the upstairs.

Ha ha! Cute story! When they're small they can sure get into some tiny spaces! When Sheeba was small, I was laying in bed, and he crawled UNDER my neck! LOL
ReplyDeleteLucy looks sweet, too, even if she is a little odd. :)

Cats can be the best and the worst at the same time, lol!
