Arrival Story: One day I drove the dogs to the dog park near our house before going to work. As soon as I got out of the car, Mercy started meowing loudly at me from a tree inside a huge empty lot that was secured by a chain-link fence. When I called to her, she immediately jumped off the tree and came to the fence but I couldn't figure out how to get her over to my side. As soon as I dropped the dogs off at home I brought her some food and water and slipped it under the fence. My husband went to check on her after he got home from work. At the time, we had our cat Bibi, who was very ill from cancer. I worried about Mercy all night and the next morning she was back in the tree. I walked around and finally discovered a larger opening under the fence, called to her, and she crawled right out. She didn't mind being picked up but she was shaking. She appeared to be clean, so I thought for sure she was lost. Our vet thought that she was about 7 months old and she had been spayed. She was scanned for microchip identification, signs were posted, but no one claimed her. We were so happy!
Bio: Mercy was a blessing as our 17-year old Bibi shortly succumbed to her cancer. She's a good girl who is affectionate, goofy, and polite. She absolutely loves being talked to and responds by giving us short meows while squirming around in odd positions. If my husband or I cough, clear our throats, or talk to each other while she's napping nearby, she'll let out a meow with her eyes closed because she thinks we're talking to her. Mercy is very sociable and likes to greet visitors. I think she will always be young at heart.

Mercy Me! is a diary pick today, along with my friends Lily's Pad, The Quality of Murray, and Mr. Kibbles Tales! It's a nice way to start the day, and I thank you for your pawmails, comments, and gifts!
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I think my parents came home a bit ill from all the fatty foods they ate, but Dad dropped Quincy off for his weekly treatment this morning and Mom is going to work on putting up our Christmas pages today.
So, no fatty leftovers for us, so we'll stick with our plain chicken!
OMC....Mom just ran around the house saying, "Cat, cat, look, there's a cat!" Look at him, isn't he gorgeous? Mom nearly broke her neck trying to take his picture. The battery on the camera died so she had to run and grab the spare that was on the charger!
Then she noticed a not-so-exotic visitor and took his picture too!
This is the first year that Mom actually forgot that the finalists in the World's Coolest Dog & Cat Show were being announced today!
I'm a finalist in Wet Cat, Melody and I in Daredevil, Reebok and Melody in Craziest Tail, Enzo in Best Friends, and Pixie in Scaredy Cat!
A big thrill this year is that Quincy also made it in the Best Friends and Craziest Tail categories! Since Pebbles is in his Best Friends photo and Enzo's Best Friends photo, we consider her a friendly finalist too!
Thank you for your votes! Congratulations to all the finalists and their photographers and good luck to all of you!
