Torti Tuesday- In Memory of Bontepoes

This Tortie Tuesday is in memory of Mom's dad kitty Bontepoes. She was a rescue kitty, and she was FIV positive. She was the girliest cat ever, and ever-so-sweet. She died on 30 January 2007, and she will be missed.

This is a better intro to Mom's dad's (Opa's) cats. Opa lives in a small cabin on a small island. He too has three cats (must be something in the genes!) Names: Willem, Bontepoes and Ma. Their life is pretty idyllic.Willem is a huge, sweet orange tabby. Willem likes to help go to the maibox and pick up the mail everyday. The mailbox is about a block and a half away. He has a harness and leash, and he walks very proudly down the middle of the street. When he hears a car coming, he goes to the ditch and sits in it until the car has passed by. Then he gets up and continues the journey. I don't think that I would do very well on a leash! Mom was very impressed and made sure she told us all about Willem's fantastic feat.

All three cats were feral. Willem and Bontepoes are both FIV positive, so their health is closely monitored. They are doing just wonderful. They are indoor kitties, and they enjoy sitting by the wood stove- a lot.

Mom loves visiting them- a lot.
