My sister and her animals

My sister always had animals around the house and as far as I know, she still does today. One of the funniest story that I can think of my sister and her animals was the time her cat was missing for several day only to show up with a broken tail. This was a beautiful white male cat that for some reason decided to go "catting". He must have "barked up a wrong tree". My sister cried and cried and there was no explaining to her that a broken cat tail could not be fixed. Our mother being that princess of "duct tape", just taped the cat's tail together. We were so proud of our mother for thinking of such a wonderful idea, until the cat's tail started to rot off. Oh the smell! And my sister carried that cat everywhere. We finally convinced her that the tail would never heal. My sister made a cat tail like a rabbit foot and carried it on her key chain this day. If you don't believe me, just ask her.

  1. I asked mom, papaw howard, and grandma about this and none of them remember this. Are you sure you're not making this up? I've heard some weird stories about my mom, but come on! hehe

  2. Oh, it's true alright! It was a yellow cat (Tom Cat) named Frisky, because he looked like the cat on the Frisky Cat Food Commercials - Your mother was so original with names. She had a dog name spot because she read Dick and Jane books and they had a dog name Spot ;)

  3. Okay, maybe the cat tail on a keychain is stretching the truth a little, but the duct-taped cat is for real.
