A Picture says a thousand words....


Here is the tiger of my life....she wondered into my mother-in-law's porch. She was so small but she love to come out of her hiding place as soon as you sat on the bench. I don't think I've ever heard her purrr but she has a small meow (it's a little bit louder now)

She would play with her sock toy (we still have) for as long as you were there. As soon as you would get up from the bench she would disappear.

My father-in-law wasn't too excited about the little critter my mil had started feeding. Brent's neice and I would carry her inside (which thrilled him even more) and she would stay pretty still. She wasn't too sure about the dog, Bandit. Eventually, I would have to leave and so back she went out to the front porch.

About a month that she had been around my fil had gotten really sick and my mil was staying at the hospital with him. But she was really concerned about this cat. So I went to their house and made sure she had water and food a couple of times...it's pretty funny for me to do this because I'm NOT a cat person. Well, she became part of our family one day (my husband told me to bring her home)

So that started the ball rolling...had to give her a bath every day for a week with flee shampoo...I scheduled her vet visit for a check up/spayed/ and de-clawed!! She has been the best cat I have ever been around. If she had been anything like what I have seen in the past....I would have been the first to take her to the pound.

No one had really given her a name but called her kitty....My neice and I had already named her Heidi because of the way she would hide and wouldn't come out until you sat on the bench. Each day she suprises me.
