Re: Kona Gone To The Bridge



P.S. Kona looks a LOT like my sister-in-law's cat. He showed up as an adult
and adopted THEM, sticking around and mooching food until he became a de
facto member of the family. You know how it goes... "We're not feeding
that stray cat. Well, OK, we can feed him, but he's staying outside. Well,
we can feed him in the garage, but he's not coming in the house. Well, he
can come in the house, but only in the cellar, we'll set up food and water
down there. Well, he can come in the rest of the house, but not on the
furniture."

This would be the cat who sat next to me on the sofa, purred his big
stripey head off, and sandpapered my thumb with his great big pink tongue
last time I was there. :o) They still think he's not allowed on the
furniture... I think that rule's going to go by the wayside like all the
other "rules" so far have done. ;o)

As he was officially presumed to be a family member at different times,
depending on which different human members of the family you ask, he's got
a few names, depending on which person in the family you ask. The names
include "Cat", "Sam", and (my personal favorite) "Jupiter" -- that last
one because he's so big he's like his own planet. :o) I call him my
Cat-in-law. If there's doting and/or food involved, he'll answer to just
about anything. Smart kitty. :o)
