Arrival Story:
Pepper's mother brought him and his two siblings one by one, through the woods to our house. My mother had seen a coyote just a day or two before she brought them. We believe she was trying to protect her children from the predator. Once the mother's family found where the missing cats had gone my sister and I had sufficiently begged my parents to let us keep one. Pepper had crawled up asleep underneath our concrete porch steps and could not be retrieved so it only made sense that we keep him. We all instantly grew attached. My dad, a self-proclaimed "dog person" was amazed that cats were as affectionate and playful as Pepper proved to be.

Bio:
Pepper was with us until 1995 when his exploratory nature led him to stray a bit too far from home. Had our neighbor not found him dead in the road we may never have known what happened to him. Pepper filled a need for me that I did not appreciate until he was gone. In fourth grade every friend I had known through out school decided I was not worthy to be their friend anymore. After that, I shut down socially and lost faith in people. I believe that is why, today, cats mean so much to me. Though I had not been good enough to earn the love of my school comrades, Pepper loved me no matter what. I remember telling him everything, when I was scared or sad. I hid a wart on my toe for years because I was scared of having it removed (which of course made it VERY hard to get rid of once my mom found out about it). I can remember talking to Pepper and telling him how scared I was. He purred and licked the wart on my toe as if somehow he could make it go away. He has remained in my heart for all of these years and I continue to think about him. I'm glad that he died happy. I don't think he would have liked being an indoor cat. He had too much of an adventurous spirit. I know he is happy at the bridge and that he is certainly not alone. We have all lost beloveds and now they are there together.
