I have two cats. Their names are Tigger and Princess--I know real original, huh?
Tigger is one of four kittlens my son Chris' cat, Blackie had in our temporary home at Residence Inn November 2001. Our house caught on fire in October and we had to live in 3 different places until the house was rebuilt. Residence Inn was the best. We had a real kitchen and maid service. We lived like rich people for a month, but the insurance company moved us when they received an $8000 bill for about a month. Wow! Can you believe that?
Princess we found in our carport under the car about a year later. She was just a little kitten--probably only about 5 weeks old. We took her in and about a week later, she nearly drowned! We had a large plastic container in the tub where we gave my grandson, Austin, baths when he was a baby. It still had some water in it, and Princess jumped in and couldn't get out. My daughter-in-law's friend, Teri Clark, who was staying with us at the time, discovered the kitten struggling in the water and getting weaker and weaker. She rescued Princess, tried to gently shake water out of her mouth, dried her off, and kept her warm until she was totally dry and acting normal. I will always be thankful to Teri far saving Princess' life.
