Every week since November 15th I have posted on my Facebook page a little hint of a Christmas wish. I never knew what a stir it would cause but as the weeks went by the 5 words ‘All I want for Christmas’, followed by a picture of a black kitten, generated a mountain of responses, phone calls, personal messages and face to face chats.
My heart is full. Many hoped the best for me and loved ones as far as
Christmas is now a day past and the very first gift that was given was that of the ugliest, smelliest, scrawniest, mangiest little kitten I have ever laid eyes on! He must have come straight from a trash can, I swear it! My husband went to the local animal shelter and saw this rat of a cat, shoved in a cage and climbing over the others cute fluffy kitties, trying desperately to get out. He knew without a doubt which one belonged to me.
Can you guess what I named him? The winner gets a handmade prize from me. Oh, what fun! Sorry, but readers of my Benjamin Bohns story must not play!
Hint: A black cat + crossing my path = good luck
I love it's smoker's meow.
ReplyDeleteYes! He does have quite the voice! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love him, Carrie! He's just purrrfect ;) Congrats on your new baby.
ReplyDeleteI think he's cute! What a Lucky little kitty!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Louise:) He really is a sweet little kitty. He's curled up right next to me at the moment & follows me around everywhere. Plus he loves the kids but knows who mommy is.
ReplyDeleteTracy, I think he & I are very lucky to find each other. I really needed him as I know he needed me:) Yes, he is cute and cleaning up very nice. He's all fur & bones at the moment but eating pretty good now. I can't wait for him to be a big fat kitty:)
He looks like he needed a good home. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's doing much better now and starting to clean himself. He loves my cozy cabinet where I write & I often find him sleeping on my chair. I think he is happy here:)
ReplyDeleteBlack cat, cross my path - good fortune bring to home and hearth. When I am away from home, bring me luck wherever I roam.
ReplyDelete- Old English Charm
I have no idea what you named him though. I'll have to think about this one :)
So glad you got your kitty! We have the cutest black kitty named Smoky, he has a little grayish white around his face... I'm dying to know what yours is named! i will guess... Cobweb... Random, I know.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I love that Old English Charm! I think I shall memorize it! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteKim, though I LOVE the name 'Cobweb' & it completely fits this little guy, it's not his name. I bet your kitty, Smoky, is adorable with his face markings:)
Oh! It looks as if I have two winners! One from Brazil & Denmark! May I introduce you all to SNOWBALL!!! He is named after a very smelly, mangy alley cat in my book:) Thanks for all the guesses everyone! There were some really good ones! I think I may file them away for future characters:)
