Here’s proof that I wasn’t lying when I talked about my junior-high self. Look at those glasses. That giant mouth full of metal. Oh wait – you can’t see it because I never opened my mouth. That’s right, I remember it now.
Anyway, here is Tinker, the only male cat we ever had. He was a good cat for the most part, except for the fact that he kept peeing/spraying behind the rocker in the living room. I remember my mom getting so, so mad about it, and I couldn’t fathom how she could be so irate over my widdle sweetums Tinker.
I get it, Mom. Right there with you, several decades later. My kittens haven’t had any accidents yet, but I believe they would become outside kitties in a heartbeat should that start happening.
Tinker ‘ran away’ sometime later. I have my suspicions, but my parents are sticking to the story to this day.
That’s solidarity, man.
Brad says
Tinker is GIANT! Or were you just really small?

I had those glasses and a mouth full of metal, too. But I had shorter hair. And a friend gave me stick-on initials (my initials) to put on my glasses. I was way cool after I put those on. And since my glasses were so huge, the initials did not impede my line of sight.

I was watching TV while laying on the living room carpet one day when that boy -- that CAT -- walked up and sprayed me in the face.
There were no tears shed from my eyes when he went missing.
The other individual in that photo is a source of deep love and admiration.

Holy
cowcat! I believe that is the biggest cat I’ve ever seen….well, not counting the cats at the zoo!And he certainly looks sweet in that picture. I guess it’s because he’s being held by someone who truly love him.

Someday, maybe you’ll be saying the same about PB… 😉

Went Missing?? I think he got stuck somewhere!
Jane Sommerer says
He is pretty enough that he may have adopted another family. I am with Mark, if ever a cat sprayed me I would not miss him. You were cute as could be though Lauren.
