* ANGEL CAT STORY #444
** "I AM YOUR ANGEL"
Years before Mrs. Harris was born, I painted an orange cat looking into a mirror and viewing and angel looking back.
Mrs. Harris? How did she get her name?
We chose the kitty at three weeks of age. She chose us by chewing on my shoelaces! Three weeks later we went back to pick up the kitten. Meanwhile I had a dream, a young orange cat was snoozing in my lap. A friend asked me, "What is the name of the cat?
In the dream, I replied, "The name of the cat is Mrs. Harris."
And so she is.
" Mrs. Harris is adorable, she is also ferocious" so began a scribbled story of the kitten as we sat outdoors in the green grass. I hurried to send the story to Shirley MacLaine's Pet Pages section on her web site. She chose my story, Welcoming Mrs. Harris, as the winner of the month! Shirley, author, dancer, actress, animal lover sent me an autographed photo of herself and Terry, her Rat Terrier furry friend.
I loved online writing! And so began many stories and experiences like Silver Butterfly Create a Vision, and this Blog (since 2010) Out of the Blue!
Mrs. Harris and I are both "loners." We like to be alone so we can sort out our thoughts. We like peace and quiet. We became roommates in the Art Room" where I am now, writing away with joy (alone). Mrs. Harris is also like me, very assertive. We want our way "now!" If I brought a snack in Mrs. Harris wanted to help me eat it!
Mrs. Harris and I love heavy whipping cream! Our only other cat to eat cream was our large grey cat Tom. Every day, twice a day, I would take Mrs. Harris a small bowl of cream, morning and evening.
Mrs. Harris also loves the keyboard and tried to help me type. Mrs, Harris, a champion jumper, leaped skillfully to the top of my mom's ancient china cupboard. She would also launch herself onto a chair then up to the middle bookcase, and reach her peek height at the top of the highest blond wood bookcase. Her Watchful Lookout!
"Look Out!" Her face was near the top of the door into the art room. Paws ready to "swipe" and maybe a hiss of warning to any "intruder" entering HER SPACE.
MY SPACE MY WAY She Thunders!
As nearly 20 short years drifted by, Mrs. Harris gradually became weary. However! She kept "growing" and enjoying cat social life joining the other older kitchen cats, Sancat and Sasha. as all three of them sometimes together or accompanied by other cat family friends, and human watchers helping then :
DISCOVERED
"ALL IS PAWSIBLE! Going Down the steps by yourself:
Then, PAWS ON GRASS!
PAWS ON CONCRETE PATIO feel the warmth!
PAWS EXPLORE GARDEN AND TREES! Sniff those flowers! See those leaves!
HIDE UNDER A FUR TREE! Even more fun.
When you have had a romp,
CLIMB BACK UP THE STAIRS YOURSELF!
FURRY FRIENDS ARE FAMILY MRMBERS
They like to feel independent and develop self-confidence just like we do.
Gradually: "I am Your Angel" became a reality, peacefully.
