One mild, sweet day in early autumn these kittens were born to our family. This little family taught us what it meant to be ‘multiple cat’ home providers. Notice that I did not use the word ‘owner’ because a person never truly ‘owns’ a cat. It is more of a ‘master-slave’ relationship with the human being the slave. No matter how old this family got, we always affectionately referred to them as ‘the kittens’. The kittens’ mother, Daisy, came bouncing into our lives shortly before the arrival of her children in almost a magical kind of way. My sister had long been seeking a tortoiseshell kitten; surely enough, Daisy provided one, Rosie. Daisy gave me my Russell Lee and Blaine. In this picture, Barbie has been evicted to make room for the kittens. As you can see, Barbie is in her car hitting the road. Blaine is in the downstairs chaise lounge and Russell Lee is upstairs under the table. In time, Mueller and Flower (named after the skunk in Fantasia) became the “masters” of my Mom. Interestingly enough, Flower is the only remaining kitten from this litter. This was a sweet family. They provided us with lots of love and joy. Happy 19th Birthday, Flower. Thanks for loving us, kittens.
