Flashback Friday: The Visitor

March 11, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat28 Comments

Many, many years ago, the humans rescued a kitty and kept her until they found her a good home. She showed up one night at a meditation workshop they were attending. She just walked in, flopped down and made herself at home. The center was located on a busy Hollywood street, so she was apparently homeless.

They did not give her a name. They got attached to her anyway.

My first impression of her was not a good one, since my human’s boyfriend immediately took her for a checkup and to be spayed. In her getup, I did not think she was fashion forward.

Lasers had no effect on her.

She had some very strange habits. For example, she was always killing my human’s stuffed animals.

She really had it in for this bear.

And she had that water fetish that some of you other kitties have that I don’t understand.

I think she was a little bit mad!

Even so, we did get to be friends eventually. She knew the value of a good box.

Although she was kind of chintzy about letting me have my turn inside it.

She and Binga did not get along. Partly because she kissed up to the dog, and Binga thought the dog was her sole property. For the whole month the kitty lived with us, Binga did not speak in her normal tone of voice, just in falsetto.

Kittens, cover your ears! Lots of bad words here.

Eventually someone from the meditation class said she wanted her, so my humans packed her up and took her to her new home. But they were very sad to see her go. I was a little too… but to be honest, she was kind of bossy.

I am glad I'm not the one in the carrier.

If you want to know more about her, you can read about her here and here.

    Oh, she sounds nice enough–IF you aren’t a kitty already living there. It seems that she made herself right at home–maybe a little too quickly for your taste. I’m glad she found a nice home though and that you took such good care of her until she found it. Your Mommeh has a big heart. 🙂

    It’s always good to have an extra friend, even for a short time, and even if that friend seems a little strange.

    Sounds like she was a great visitor, and that you had a wonderful time together. It’s always hard saying goodbye, isn’t it?

    Thank you so much for stopping by to offer such kind words when our Maggie passed away. We are still sad, but the kindness of friends like you sure helps…

    I love that picture of the visitor walking away with the stuffed animal – so funny. She looks like a sweet and silly kitty, and I’m glad she found a home!

    Me understands how Binga feels. But she now has a place to call her own and Binga cant get upset! That is good! Wish me could get rid of the brat that easy….

    She is a cutie, but I’ve heard that calicos can be a bit bossy at times. I’m so glad she got her own home!

    Sparkle! I’m surprised at you! Judging someone by appearance is not acceptable. Someone doesn’t have to be fashion forward to be nice. (OK, so she turned out to be bossy, but you know what I mean.)

    Maybe mom and dad should take you to meditation class with them so you can get a new perspective on these things, young lady! 😉

    That’s good that she found a loving home! Thank you for taking her in and getting her spayed. We know that is a lot of work with in-house kitties who don’t really like intruders.

    I think that was a smart kitty to find a home at a meditation class. Did the people who took her need extra relaxation lessons?

    Too funny. Sparkle, you’re a good cat for tolerating her. Poor Binga. We know those torties are possessive!

    That was a nice story and we are glad she got a good home. Too bad she had to leave since you and she were friends Sparkle. But she is probably happier without any competition. Hope you have a super week end.

    She is a pretty girl, but not as beautiful as you of course! We are glad she went to a loving Forever Home, and Binga was probably very glad about it.
