and this is how I see My Sweet Baboo

Identical, aren't they? ..LOL..
Why do I love this kitty so?

I wrote a letter to my friend Ellie of

Cats and Pink Cadillacs

about how Boo came to own me. Ellie convinced me that I should just put the letter as written on this page to explain how I came to love Baboo so. So that's what I've done here. This is how I first found Boo and fell in love with the litte sh_t.

*******************************

My Sweet Baboo was a stray, about 4 months old when I first caught him peeking at me.

We had built a small bon-fire in a firepit in the backyard and we were all relaxing around the fire. Then off to the right about 30 feet away, I caught a glimpse of the white on his little face.

I don't know where he came from, but I think somebody dumped him as a kitten in our neighborhood or he ran away from abuse , because he was terrified of humans. It took me all summer, fall and part of the Winter 1994, to lure him in out of the outside. He had rickets and an underslung jaw from lack of proper food.

I found out what he used to eat.....BUGS!! Haha....he's not co-ordinated enough to catch a bird or mouse or anything. I used to make an extra burger or chicken breast on the BBQ grill for him and leave it outside. (plus a bowl of dry catfood) He would sneak in at night and get it. Oh God, I love that kitty! (I've got tears in my eyes as I'm telling you his story)

              Anyhow, one fall day 4 months after I first saw him, I tossed bits of catfood closer and closer to me, and finally , he came near enough and let me pet him! What a day that was! God, you think I get excited over getting an award, you should have seen me that day! He finally got mad at me cuz I over-petted him and took off til the next day. He came back, but he still didn't trust me to come inside. I was losing my cat Bonnie to uterine cancer at the time and I think Boo was sent from Kitty Heaven to help me out. ..Because he ran into the house only about one week after Bonnie went to Rainbow Bridge. (Dec. 27th 1994)

The same thing happened to me with my best friend black Lab named Kelly Girl. A few months before she died, a stray black Lab pup was on the highway and we picked her up and found her a home. I think she was meant to live with me, but I was too dumb to see it at the time.

   Some day I will add Boo's and Kelly's stories to my pages. And you havent even heard about ..Samson.. (he was my "heart" before Boo) my black kitty yet! .....LOL....dont' worry, I'll spare you the details here....LOL.....

       I have to go pet Boo now, and tell him how special he is. He won't let me hug him , so I have to go sit in "his" spot with him! He cuddles at night for a while tho.....I can't shut up about him, so I'll just say bye.

PS. Boo is about 7 years old now and fat & sassy!

*Pss. I want to thank all the people who prayed for my Boo's recovery when he was so very sick this September. The vet never did find out what was wrong with him, but He is doing just fine now and on the road to recovery! I know your prayers helped him. :-) (Sept. 5th, 2001) Sign View
