Ricky

Saturday afternoon I was awakened by a horrific, nonstop howl. I was in my bedroom and I could hear the noise coming from the front of my apartment. Immediately I thought my cat had somehow gotten stuck in the hallway while I was doing laundry but she was sitting in the window. I went outside and I could hear the noise coming from the vicinity of my car and a small tree. I looked up in the tree and couldn't find anything so I figured there was a cat under my car. I got down on my hands and knees (in my pajamas, much to the delight of the bikers in the Stumble Inn) to find nothing under my car but the noise continued. There was a guy walking down the street so I said to him,

C.C: Do you hear that?
random guy: yeah.
CC: I can't figure out where that's coming from
R.G: there's a cat in the window.
CC: That's my cat and that's not her making that noise
RG( dropping to his knees): HOLY SHIT!
CC: Oh my god, what?
RG: There's a cat crawling out of your engine

The next thing I know, a bundle of fur jumps through my hubcap and lands at my feet. The cutest little ball of greasy fur imaginable. He's a long hair tabby cat with a grey back with black stripes and a white belly. He looks like an old man with the hair sticking out of his ears..Once I figure out how to put pics on here, I'll post one of him. Some little girl walking down the street told me that he was one of the strays that she feeds that belong to a family around the corner from me. I refused to take him back there. He had no collar, etc so I figured if they wanted him, they would have kept a better eye on him. Besides, feral cats make me sooo sad. I want to give them all a home---and thats what I did.

I promptly shuffled him to my grandparents house and granny immediately fell in love. I'm very proud to say that they are now the proud owners of Ricky. I wanted to call him Volkswagen but no one was on board with that. He is the sweetest, most affectionate cat I have ever seen in my life. He eats like he's never been fed and he wants nothing more to do that play with us..its amazing. He seems so happy. This makes Granny (who is still deep in the grieving process for my aunt) very, very happy which makes Corky Cherrywood ecstatic.

Save a stray today!
