Arrival Story:
I had wanted a second cat for quite some time but couldn't bring myself to get one. Last October I had minor surgery and right after the surgery I was wondering what I was waiting on. I started looking at rescue organizations for a cat and on breeder websites to see if there was a particular type of cat I would want. When I saw the Tonkinese I fell in love. At first I wanted a Platinum Mink but then I saw the most beautiful Natural Mink on a rescue site. I would have gotten that little guy but he was blind and I wasn't prepared to deal with a blind cat. It was then that I decided I had to have a Natural Mink Tonkinese. I found a breeder close by that had one so I jumped on it. I brought Marina home on Christmas Eve. She was 14 weeks old to the day. What a great Christmas that was.

Bio:
Marina is a very curious and smart cat but she takes a while to warm up to new people and places. She loves to get on top of the refrigerator and she has learned how to fetch and sit. I'm trying to teach her to go to a particular mat and to lay down. Both are taking a while. She thinks the greatest game in the world is to try to eat Velvet's back legs. Velvet doesn't appreciate this. Marina also likes to chew on power cords (especially the mouse cord when I'm on the computer), play with the miniblinds, walk on the second story railing and make me nervous. Once she did this and fell off. She was stunned but unhurt. Marina also likes to give lots of kisses, when she isn't running around like a monkey on caffeine.

Poem:
All Things Precious
Author Unknown

If I could, I'd comb the sky
and collect the stars,
quickly pile them into a basket
until it overflowed with silvery light.
And then I'd give the basket to you,
because all things precious
and beautiful
should be yours today.

Monkeying Around with Marina


Pet Parents: Please be responsible drivers

Grannie's best friend died yesterday. She ran off the road then over corrected. She went right then left, she spun clockwise then went right again. She hit a ditch, hit a fence, flipped, was thrown from the car and died at the scene. Mommy knows she was a good driver. She was a long-distance truck driver. This day she was in her car. Mommy thinks she fell asleep at the wheel and woke up once she hit the right shoulder. She wasn't wearing her seatbelt and she didn't have insurance on her car. Thank God no one else was involved.

Please tell your parents to be careful and wear seatbelts. And don't drive tired. It's not worth losing their lives.

Purrs...Marina

Looks like I ate the foil afterall. Guess mommy will have to keep an eye on me too. I sure hope I don't have to go to the vet tomorrow. Today was bad enough.


Why, Mommy, why?

Mommy grilled chicken last night. She wrapped the pieces in foil so they wouldn't burn but they would still have that good grilled taste. Last night Tosca got into the trash and ate the foil. Mommy didn't know which one of us did it although she thought it was Tosca. *gives Tosca a dirty look* Mommy decided it was a good idea to take both of us to the vet.

The vet was busy, busy. There were dogs there and cats. They even had a horse that they called "a mastif." I hissed and spit and growled. I dealt with it all day. Finally I couldn't take it anymore. The last time the vet took me out of the cage, I bit her. That's right, I bit the vet. *dances* I bit the vet, I bit the vet, I bit the vet.

Mommy was wondering why it took so long for me and Tosca to come to the front. She was stunned when they came out with two carriers instead of the one we came in. They told her it was just safer this way because I was so upset. You bet I was upset. I had to spend all day at the vet and there was nothing wrong with me. *hissssssssss*

I'm back home now and I'm a bit on edge but I'm trying to get in a nap and forget the day.
