   On Halloween night in 1988 an expected knock came at the door. But instead of hearing the usual Trick or Treat, the three kids held up a white ball of fur and told me they had found this kitty in the bushes and would I take care of him. It was the smallest pure white kitten with the brightest blue eyes. What else would you name your new white kitten on Halloween night - Casper (the ghost) of course. Casper was a mess, fleas, worms and a real bad cold. After a vet got through with him he was perfect and has been for many years.

    When he was younger and living in California his favorite activity was hanging around gopher holes and waiting for that perfect moment when he could reach in and pull one out. He has always been very affectionate and only in the past few years has he developed his voice. We now carry on conversations a couple of times a day. As his years advance his favorite activity turned to sleeping in front of the fireplace and on the stairs where he blends in so well with the carpet that we have to be careful not to step on him. Our current goal is to find Casper a baby brother or sister that looks just like him.
