I am a Himalayan and tabby kitten. My mommy gave me the name of Smoky Joe because I was a ball of smoke colored fuzz. I am the runt of the litter and so tiny. I have ice-blue eyes, gray ears, nose, and tail. My birthday is February 14th, 2000. Mommy got me on 29th of March from a lady that she worked with. Mommy wanted to surprise the children living there so she tucked me into her pocket of her coat when Mommy came home no one knew that I was there.
Mommy slowly took me out when I began to cry. The children really weren’t paying attention when she came home. As she took me out of her pocket I said “MEOW”. The next day Mommy went back to work and while she was there her little boy hurt me so my Daddy took me to the vet. I had a bruise on my tummy. The vet surprised that I was still alive as I only 14 ounces. Mommy said that it didn’t matter that I was so small. She told me that I would grow up to be a beautiful cat. Then one day she gave me to her daughter Daniella. Daniella became my pet.
I like her very much.
The best place that I like to sleep is in the leg of her pants. Then of course there is the laundry (it didn’t matter if it is clean or not). I like to sleep under the clothes. The children think I am so cute when they find me there. Then too I like to sleep right on top of Dad’s nose, boy you should hear him sneeze. It scares me so bad I have to run away and hide. I like all the pets in my family.
Then they got this dog that was three days younger then me, his name is Jac. I let him know that I was in-charge of this household. When we go on trips I like to ride on the dash and watch as the miles go by, under the seat, or on mommy’s shoulder. Then we got another kitten her name is Midnight. She is cute too. She likes to sit in the window and sleep.
Now let me tell you all about the things that I like to do! I like to scratch Thomas, one time he was bothering me so I scratch him while he slept. They all said it looked like I scratch CAT into his leg, I like to chase my tail, I like to chase string, I love cat-nip, I love to chase Midnight and bite her on the butt, I like to bite toes, I like eating grass, I like to chew on sticks, and I like to attaching teddy bears. The thing I like best is giving kisses to everyone in my family. They love me very much.
They give me kisses, too.
I loved to go outside and play. I’m liked sunning myself on the front porch. Then one day I was sunning myself, minding my own business and these two big dogs came and tried to attack me. I sent them whining down the street with bloody noses. First one dog then the other thought they would get away with hurting me. But I stretched out my paw and scratched them across the nose. My own dog, Jac, doesn’t do that, why let some stranger try it.
Then about a week later these same two dogs were ganging up on my girlfriend Midnight. They were tossing her around like she was a rag doll. I tried to defend her. The best I could. She tried to climb a tree but she had no claws to help her. I couldn’t leave her behind. I gave my life to save her but it wasn’t enough.
On July 3rd, 2002 Smoky and Midnight both passed away because they were mauled by two dogs that were strays.
We laid them to rest on July 3rd, 2002.
Life just isn't the same without you.
