Patches is the one in the middle. The very unamused yet surprisingly cooperative feline between two dolls. I don't remember the story behind this picture. I can only imagine I was on the back porch playing with my favorite things, and Mom decided to snap a picture.
Patches was a good cat. Playful and attentive. Killed mice in the yard with regularity and pride. Snuggled with an occasional enthusiasm. Such a good cat.
I obviously loved her.
wow, haven't thought of Patches in a long time. She was a great cat. After she moved to the farm, I saw her take a rat that was as big as her. Tough girl! But always ready to purr and be petted too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, nice boots.
She was a fantastic housecat, but she was happiest on the farm - hunting and having many, many kittens. She never forgot us.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks. I remember those boots. They were awesome.
Great picture, Laurie.
ReplyDeleteThe mother of one of the greatest cats to ever live.
And this may seem like a stupid question from your brother, but what back porch is that?
