Cricket
will celebrate her 21st birthday on May 10. We have had her since
she was four weeks old, when we adopted her from a shelter in Las Vegas,
because the volunteer said she was too young, so they were going to "do
something awful" to her if she didn't find a home fast. She has been our
Alpha Cat ever since and now rules the Love Your Pet Expo Sanctuary for
Special Needs Animals, in Cottonwood, California.
Cricket has traveled, hiked, and explored most of the USA. She was at the
Olympics in Atlanta in 1996, and has been to the Grand Canyon, as well as
L.A., Portland, and Chicago. She has always been involved in our
activities--never just a bystander. Now she spends most of her time on top
of the cable box. The warmth helps ease her arthritis. She loves sunshine,
fresh air, bacon, and hand-knitted cat mats. She does not love getting her
picture taken, and it took many many attempts to get one that shows her
pretty eyes. She has already requested shrimp, bacon, and whipped cream
for her birthday dinner!
