Background: Krisanne found him, wandering the streets of North Grosvenordale, CT. He agreed to live with her in return for a warm home and regular meals. When she moved to Florida in September 2001, he came to us on a temporary basis. The plan was for her to get settled down south, then send for Stinky by plane. Well, plans change ... Personal: He immediately filled some of the void left by Wiley, having the same congenial, big lugged-ness. Sara loved him, he gave her a lot of attention (grooming) and played (boxing & chases) with her and Lucy. But he had some tough adjustments to make ... becoming an indoor-only cat was the hardest. He would drink from the toilets, scratch on furniture and moldings, toss cat litter to the wind, and roam about, angst-ridden. His moaning meows announced his presence wherever he went. He has a unique personality, and is super sensitive to cat-talking and combs going through his sisters' fur: he's there in an instant for his share. We didn't like his name at first — we thought he deserved better — but now it's who he is, and a term of endearment often shortened to "Stink." None of us could imagine him leaving, so Krisanne made the sacrifice to let him stay, not wanting to disrupt his life again. Accomplishments: He's a sweet, affectionate guy who won us over quickly. Meets and greets family, friends and repairmen with equal enthusiasm, trotting out. Famous for his stretch, discovered by Krisanne. Purrs loudly and crunches food at the same time. Is ever-ready to play, and always "entertaining" us with new antics. Has a serene face and very expressive eyes. He still gets bored at times, but gets satisfaction watching birds and squirrels at close range, and "outdoor" periods in the garage. Has attention-deficit disorder in that he can't remember "No!" behavior from one moment to the next; but he's hard to stay mad at. He inspires a lot of love from his people.     Relaxing with Sara (left) and playing with Lucy Other Profiles                      Back © 2002 CCarnovale          Home | Web Design | Graphics | Photos | Travels | At Home
