Because his long white

I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

PINTO
by Amiee Amaral, Massachusetts, USA
I once had a cat named
Pinto that had what, we called, ‘double toes’ also called Polydactylism. On both
of his front paws he had 6 toes. The extra one was stuck in between his "thumb"
toe for lack of a better name and what would be the first toe on a normal cat.
It had a claw that always protruded from it that he was unable to retract like
all the other "normal" toes.
We always had to pay careful attention to these extra toes – the claws needed to
be cut as short as possible because since they stuck out they tended to get
caught on things as he walked along, like the carpet or the blankets and such.
They never seemed to cause him any pain except for the frustration of getting
trapped in stuff occasionally.
He acted and did all the
normal cat things. Once my friend had some fresh grown catnip she gave me that I
hid away from him up in a top cupboard in the back room. He adored catnip!
Especially this potent smelling kind! I heard a strange noise about an hour
later and went to investigate. I found him way up high (about 6 feet up) sitting
on the top shelf of the cabinet crazy out of his mind staring down at me with
big dilated wild eyes.
Somehow he had climbed up on
the lower cabinet and opened the top cabinet door with his paws (not easy - it
is the kind that you have to pull at and finally it pops open) and then climbed
up three shelves in order to indulge in his secret stash. Obviously his other
toes were quite nimble. He was no worse for the escapade though - wired up maybe
for about an hour afterwards but then off to sleep he went - like normal.
He was a very large cat and
his coat colour was mostly white with some black blotches here and there and a
black tail. He lived to be 14 and died of an enlarged heart condition, which had
nothing to do with the genetic deformity of his toes that I know of. I had him
from when I was 10 till age 24. He was a dear sweet loving soul and I miss him
with all my heart still.

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
