5. ours has had more names than lives

Of the entire litter “Red” has been adopted twice - and returned twice. This earned him the name “Boomerang” and because he is such aBIG MOUTH it has been shortened to “Boomer”.
But he is the most social cat we’ve ever come across.

9. Reminds me of my departed cat Tommy

Tommy was an orange tabby, runt of the litter, but he could effortlessly fly from the cat tree to the sofa back some twelve feet away. His flying around the house got him in some tight fixes: one time he managed to get tightly caught in the living-room drapes and I had to cut them to free him rather than take time undoing the knot he somehow fashioned.

16. I clearly remember my first ginger cat pal

He was an ornery old bastard of a cat named Pete and the lady next door, his person, warned me he didn't like kids.

Well, I soon figured out he wasn't nuts about being fussed over beyond the odd scratch. The two of us spent a lot of time sitting next to each other on a back step while I read to him and he pretended to both care and understand. He was definitely a companion, not a subordinate, and I remember him fondly. His person was absolutely amazed. I was four and a half at the time.

17. My ginger lost a leg to cancer... do you think that slowed him down *at all*?

Kitty chaos on 3 legs ? chaos on 4 legs.

It's interesting that the vikings are the ones who spread ginger cats so widely. They apparently had quite a thing for them, and there is a direct correlation between gingers and the degree of colonisation by the northmen...
