My
cat's name is Crusty Crustacean Crustacea. He is seven years old and part
Maine Coon and part Siamese and part Alley Cat. He was born in
Watsonville, California and now lives in Dallas, Texas.
My cat is special because he is orange and white with baby blue eyes. All
the vet's he's seen say this an anomaly. He's very silent most of the
time, unless he's hungry or wants to go in the back yard. On more
adventurous days he patrols the neighborhood on the roof. Crusty only
drinks water out of a running faucet and prefers lounging in window sills.
He has been driven from California to Texas and it did not make him happy.
He has a brother named Stache, who is a Hemingway (a.k.a. polydactyl) with
too much energy for Crusty. He eats organic food and roasted turkey
without hormones, and he's one of the biggest joys of my life. He may be a
little spoiled, but he deserves it!
Crusty was not brought home with the intention of being mine because I'm
allergic to cats. He was staying with me so they could finishing nursing
by their mother. So, to differentiate him from his brothers and sister, my
brother named him "Crusty" because his eyes were crusty. But then, I fell
in love with with him and had to keep him (and upgrade his name)!
I worked at a rehab facility and he was born there from an alley cat, so I
don't know what he is. I always suspected he was Maine Coon in parts - but
some vets have said he might have some Siamese in him? One interesting
thing he did - was after I had a severe accident - he crawled up on my
chest and just lay there. He never did that before or ever after.
I am so lucky to have him.
