Beanie came into our lives in October of 1991. He was an orphan and we took him in. Beanie has always been “Mr. Personality”. He’s the only cat I ever saw who had knees! He would sit on the arm of the couch and drape his knees over the edge and watch the fish.
He was also “copycat” Beanie. He would assume the exact same pose as whoever he was sleeping next to.
Beanie had his special “spots” too. There was the “talkie” spot which made him chatter his mouth and talk, his “Exorcist” spot which made him rotate his head, and his “Go GRRRR” spot which let everyone knew he had enough.
Beanie would go to the door to greet everyone who came in and pester them till they would pet him.
We loved every minute we spent with him, but the time with him was too short.
