Several
years ago, I picked up a pet-taxi at Delta Airlines in
Memphis with a Mother's Day present inside. After arriving home, I
carefully set the pet carrier on the floor and slowly opened the
door. The strangest kitten I'd ever seen came bouncing out.
Immediately it began to play! He grabbed the laces on my shoes and
swatted them about. He chased his tail. He ran and slid on top a pile
of newspapers. Then he pawed underneath them, as if he were looking
to find something. He rattled the papers and then he jumped in the
air and rolled on landing. He acted like he'd lived in our house all
his life. I said, "You sure are rowdy!" And so the name stuck!
Rowdy resembles a jungle cat with spots. He looks wild, but there's
not one wild bone in his body. His spots look like chocolate thumb
prints. His fur is as soft as velvet. These animals are fast, and
good jumpers. They are loving, gentle, and very smart. Rowdy had a
show career and was a Champion. He is neutered (sorry, ladies) and
has lived indoors all his life. He never meets a stranger, human or
otherwise. Once he allowed an orphan kitten to nurse him for its'
comfort.
