UtchiB,
as I call him, came from a backyard breeder. She was a very young
woman who didn't know what she was doing. I had lost my beautiful
ten-year-old soulmate Sphynx, MooShoo on my birthday, February 13th from
thrombosis.
I swore I would always have a beautiful Sphynx in my life, but only a rescue
will do. I searched for over a year to find AustinButchie. When I took the
hour-long road trip, I didn't know what to expect. The breeder told me she
was in over her head, and proceeded to bring a cat carrier full of beautiful
nekkids down for me to see. Out popped UtchieB!!! He was a wild man, running
all over the place. He was older than the other kittens, but I found his
playfulness intriguing. Later on, I realized that he was probably the runt
of his litter, as he is very small for his age. He is goofy, charming and a
purr machine.
UtchieB wanted nothing to do with his carrier, insisting on riding on my
shoulders, purring all the way home. As far as gradually introducing him to
my fur crew? Well, let's just say he kept climbing over the babygates I had
stacked in my bedroom door to be with the gang. The rest is history.
UtchieB was entered into his first cat show shortly after that. While he did
"okay" in the Household Pet category of the TICA show, a judge friend said
he definitely needs to be shown as a purebred alter. Unfortunately, I do not
have his papers so that wasn't an option. He is happiest being housecat,
though. And that's okay with me!!
