Ode to Miss Ginger…

Miss Ginger in her prime!Miss Ginger was most certainly sweeter than she was plump.  She was the color of her name, and very calming with her gentle demeanor.

She would waddle to the door to greet you.  And melt your heart with a stretch, and tap of her paw on your face to say hello.

If ever there was a cat that could help you decompress during or after a difficult day it was Miss Ginger. Living with an attention grabbing Westie, named Mac did not phase her.  She was content just being herself.

I am most grateful to her owner, Rhonda for letting me say goodbye earlier today. And I hope she finds comfort knowing that Miss Ginger (a rescue cat) had such a loving home.

Ginger’s passing although painful, is a wonderful reminder of how fortunate we are to have the unconditional love of animals in our lives. Thank you, Miss Ginger for the gift of being you!

A Really "Cool" Cat!

Rommel was your definition of a really “cool” cat. If he was not a domestic cat he would have been a lion.

How he roared!

He did not saunter into a room, and made his presence known. Eyes would turn at Rommel’s arrival. With a swat of his paw he would keep you at bay.

How he roared!

But there was most certainly an affectionate side to Rommel. A nudge as he grazed your leg walking by.

How he roared!

He leaves behind a fellow feline Binky, a pesky canine Hooper, and an adoring mom, Roxcy. And many admirers including me.

The world is a less happy place right now without Rommel. But at this writing the sun is shining.  And I suspect that is Rommel roaring!
