HOPE! WELL WHAT CAN I SAY SHE IS MY FIRST CAT, IT WAS A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO EXPLORE FOR ME. SOME LADY FOUND HER ON A RAINY DAY OUT SIDE THE LAUNDRYMAT THAT WE GO TO A LOT. MOM WENT TO THE LAUNDRYMAT TO GET SOME HANGERS BUT SHE GOT A LOT MORE THEN HANGERS WHEN SHE WENT IN THE LADY WAS TELLING HER ABOUT THE CAT AND THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR HER SO MOM TOOK HER. I BOTTLE-FED HER FOR A VERY LONG TIME SHE WOULD NOT SLEEP IN THE LITTLE BED I HAD MADE FOR HER BUT SHE WOULD CRY TILL I WOULD PICK HER UP AND PLACE HER ON THE BED NEXT TO ME. FROM THAT TIME ON SHE HAD TO SLEEP WITH ME. ONE DAY A YEAR OR TWO LATER SHE GOT OUT AND WAS GONE FOR TWO WEEKS I LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR HER BUT I COULD NOT FIND HER WHEN SHE CAME HOME I HAD GOT SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING TO ME ABOUT HER AND THEIR FLOWERS AND SOME OTHER THINGS I HAD TO PUT HER ON A 12 FOOT CAT TIEOUT MANILY WHEN I TOOK HER OUT. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I WOUND UP WITH A LITER OF KITTENS 3 BLACK AND 2 WHITE AND BLACK. HOPE WAS A GOOD MOTHER BUT MY DOG JANIE THUOGHT SHE NEEDED SOME PONTERS! JANIE IS THEIR AUNT AND HAS HAD 12 LITTERS HER SELF. TO MAKE THIS LONG STORY A LITTLE SHORT. I REALY LIKE THIS STORY OF HOPES FIRST LITER SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD MOTHER THAT WHEN I TRIED TO FEED HER OR TO GET HER TO GO TO THE LITTER BOX, THAT SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE CAGE I HAD HER IN UNLESS I LET JANIE INTO CAGE TO TAKE CARE OF HER BABIES!!!!!! THEY MAY NOT GET ALONG VERY GOOD BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HOPE AND HER BABIES THE ONLY DOG THAT CAN OR IS ALLOWED AROUND HER BABIES IS JANIE!!! AND THATS JUST HER FIRST LITER WHEN I GET SOME TIME ILL FILL YOU IN ON THEM AND WHAT EVER ELSE THAT MAY HAPPEN!!!!
