Tiger and PeeWee, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tiger / PeeWee
Age: 16 months old
Gender: Male/Female
Breed: Gray Tabby / Calico
Home: Toronto, Canada
 
   When selling Insurance at a prospect's country home north of Toronto, there under the porch were four kittens about five weeks old. I fell in love with the only Gray male tabby in the litter with three other calico females. The man I was visiting was a little "rough around the edges," or so I viewed him, being dressed to do work around the house and talking like a country boy. He saw me making a fuss and spending time with the kittens outside and said,

    "Ya wannem? Cause I'm gonna get rid of em soon."

    "Rid of them?" I exclaimed. "How? To who?"

    "I'll drown em or somethin,"  he said,  as if it were just another routine day in the country.

    "No you won't!" I blurted as I scooped up as many kittens as I could snuggle.

    About three weeks later I came back (delivered his new policy) and picked up all four kittens in the litter. My friends' widowed mother took two and I kept two.

    P.S. I don't think he would have really harmed them, because he seemed very concerned as to their welfare and how they were doing. I think he knew I was a city boy and a soft touch, but it worked out for everyone. He got rid of the litter and I sold him a policy and got two great companions!
