Reply #33: I delivered Ramona [View All]

[corarose]

Ramona's mama was my very first Cat. Someone tossed Dinky out of the car widow as they were driving along the street in front of our house.
When we picked her up her hair had been singed off and we took her to the Vet immediately.
I thought that Dinky needed a feline friend so I went out and bought a Red Tabby Persian male cat and I named him Garfield.
One weekend my Sister and I went to the Cat show in Milwaukee WI to sell my hand painted cat lamps and Garfield was only 6 months old at the time.
When we came back my Mom told us that Gar and Dinky had been "doing it". We thought that a 6 month old kitten couldn't make babies but he did.
One night while I was asleep Dinky laid down on me for protection from out dogs and she had her first kitten right on top of me. My Mom woke me up because I was dead to the world in a trance like sleep and I noticed that Dinky was having trouble delivering her baby kitty. I pulled Ramona out and we ended up keeping both kittens.
I am the one that opened Ramona's eyes when she was old enough for them to open up. She had trouble getting them open and I rubbed them softly with a cotton ball dipped in saline solution.
She was a perfect little White Kitten with red and black markings.
She use to come down our stairs in our old house head first on her back and it was so funny to watch.
When our Dog went blind she led her around and stood by her side while our Dog ate her meals and done her business.
We use to call Ramona the Seeing Eye Cat because she led that dog around for 5 years and she didn't leave her side unless she had to go to the litter box or eat.
