This
is our lovely Minkly. On a rainy, cold night last February, we
found this very wet, scared little black and white beauty on our
porch. We took her in, dried her off, and...well, she never left. We
learned shortly thereafter that little Minkly was "with
kitten." Minkly joined our family very willingly, but, becoming
a totally indoor cat was, I believe, quite the new experience for
her. She showed absolutely no fear of us, loved being petted and
carried around, and came running for attention each time we called
her. However, she knew nothing about the noise of a television, her
own reflection in a mirror frightened her, and she had no idea how to
play. Rolling a little ball toward her or even teasing her with a
ribbon to chase, made her dive under the bed! Minkly became "Her
Highness," spending the next few weeks lounging gracefully on
our bed and resting up for the blessed event we were anxious to
share.
On March 20th, she delivered three beautiful babies in the middle of
our couch with us in full attendance of the event. She encouraged us
to hold the kittens, and very proudly purred excessively as if to
say, "Look what I did!" Minkly has been a wonderful
Mom...Polar Bear, Panther and Callie are now twelve weeks old, and
she loves them so much. Thanks to the kittens, Minkly has learned how
to play, romp, and chase, and enjoy her life to the fullest right
along with them. Please visit
Minkly's Web Site,
to see her babies and her older brothers (previous honorees of Cat of
the Day).
