Remembering Tina, the most beautiful little Calico cat Options

[DannysMom]

My sweet Tina. She was born on or about October 27, 1997. The first time I saw her cute little face she made me smile. I loved her pretty markings. She had brown tabby stripes on her left front leg, half of her face was orange tabby and the other half brown tabby marked. She had a little brown tabby sibling with her in the pet store. She was probably glad to get out of there as the owner constantly smoked in there and a thick cloud of smoke hung in the whole place.

Tina was an avid bird watcher, and a few weeks ago she even still chased after a squirrel. One day she got herself stuck up in a big maple tree, crying and scared to come back down. A kindly neighbor climbed up in the tree and coaxed her down to him. He grabbed her real quick and she landed in a bedsheet or something that we had held up for her to land on. She landed safely, and never climbed up that tree again.

She could be feisty and ornery as Calicos sometimes are, but she had a tender spot in her heart for small children. A little boy about 2 years old once walked up to her, smiling and wanting to pet the 'kitty-cat'. She met him half-way and accepted his little hand softly stroking her head. She seemed to sense that he meant her no harm.

Tina was playful and inquisitive. She often would stick her paw under the door when I was on the other side, wanting me to try to grab her paw. She loved stretching out her hind legs, and she enjoyed watching movies with me. I cannot even begin to describe how much joy she brought into my life.
