This white one is my little angel Katiuska.

My Cherished Friend!

God must have known there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,

Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.

He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"

In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.

I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,

At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.

He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart

To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.

He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,

And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like my Katiuska!!

Katiuska seemed to have escaped or gotten out of her previous owner's house.  For that reason, I don't think she was abandoned; she even had the stitches from the spaying.   When I saw her for the first time, she had been sitting at a neighbor's window sill for days so I fed her and provided water hoping somebody would look for her or post signs.  The weather was getting colder and after so many days of seeing her there day and night, I could not wait any longer and took her inside my apartment without her first daddy's approval; but I didn't care.  When I brought her inside the apartment, she inmediately felt at home. She and Misky seemed to be getting along very well; I was very happy. Katiuska is famous for being a big mouth with loud meows. She is so loud that she can be heard over the phone when I'm talking to any of my friends especially Margie.

Misky loved to have her ears groomed by Katiuska, they even ate from the same dish and shared the same litter box; but something happened during the time her first daddy and I separated and Misky ended up hating Katiuska viciously.

Katiuska is not an agressive cat. Misky and Snow on the other hand, seem to take pleasure in attacking Katiuska but Katiuska will not fight them back even though she has the agility and the strength to overpower both of them. It seems as if she chooses not to fight them for some reason.  They share my house now and even though Misky was finally returned to me only a year ago this September '99, Misky has taken over the entire household relegating Katiuska and Snow to the second floor.

I love all my cats, but the relationship I have with Katiuska is very deep and complex, she has shown her love for me in unique ways. I love her inmensely.

I could go on and on and on about her and my other babies..... which I will, just keep clicking on the other pages pleaaaseee!

By the way, I have another video of Katiuska waiting for Hurricane Floyd on Sept. 14, 1999.  Would you like to see it?    Well then just kindly put your paw on this link.
