What
makes her so special? - Camille is a great mouser and loves to
be loved.
Camille was a stray and hated to be indoors, so we had to teach her to
play during the winter months. She loves the heat and hates the cold.
She will stay outside when it's in the 90's and 100's, but will not go
out when it's below 40... except to potty. She hates to use her indoor
box and will cry just to go out for her potty break and back in
quickly...when it's cold. She has trained up well and only has to come
in and look at us and we will let her out. When it's cold, she's a lap
cat, but, during the summer she will only sit near us.
She was a stray found at the workplace of a former student. She asked
if we were going to replace Matilda who had been with us for 20 1/2
years. She brought her over and the first thing Camille did was run
upstairs to the front guest bedroom. That has been her room ever since.
When she wants uninterrupted sleep, she goes up to her room. She
sleeps on the bed in the winter and under the dresser in the summer. We,
my husband and myself, think she's special and she loves us, but as soon
as anybody comes into the house, she either goes to her bedroom or out.
She doesn't like or trust strange people. Of course, I don't know what
happened to her during her first nine months of her life. I have around
100 cute pictures of Camille that I'm always willing to share.
Actually, I keep a photo album of Camille to show to people who thrust
the pictures of their 'grand babies' at me. Fair is fair.
We live next to a state park and my husband reminds me that Camille once
charged an eight point buck who turned after running a short distance,
and chased her up a tree. We see bobcats and wolves at the edge of the
park and one time we heard something being killed. My husband got up
and was looking out the screen door in the sun room and felt a furry
tail curve around his ankle. There was Camille. Ed told Camille that
that (indicating the noise) was why she was not to go out at night.
Camille loves us and we think she's funny, loving, and unique.
