Tribute to Skimpy

I've posted on and off about my beautiful boy Skimpy who was such a joy in my life.  He jumped off the roof, climbed a tree and ran through the grass like a rabbit.  He sat up like a chipmonk to see around him.  His world was without as he knew it, limitiations.  I watched Skimpy many times in awe of his couragous little self moving along as best he could.  He was the king of my yard and would even chase other cats away.  He knew no limitations although watching him move along the yard with all his might slowly moving his way with his kinked back and tail.  Walking on his elbows because his front legs never grew out properly and he could not straighten them, never knowing that there was a problem with his body.  He felt no pain,  As I watched him I would think wow, if I only we as people would put our limitations to the side and move along through life with such determination.   He that was dissabled but had no idea he was not like the other cats.  I was so impressed with him.  Skimpy didn't use his dissabilty as an excuse, he just did what Skimpy would do. I think back at what a wonderful positive attitude that cat had.

A few months ago Skimpy dissapeard out of my yard.  I can only imagine what had become of him and don't want my mind to go there.  He was a beautiful boy who taught me many lessons in my life.  I am saddened and heartborken over his dissapearance, surely he has crossed over the rainbow bridge.
 He will always be a part of my heart and a lesson in my life to courage and extraordinary will power.  My tribute to Skimpy.  I love you Skimps!!

Lazy daze's

I've had a great weekend and great week just lying around being kinda lazy.  Shhhhh, don't tell anyone. 
Ahhh, fresh air and shunshine. This is the life!
I spend most of the day just hanging around, unitll I get hungry then off to find mom to see if I can persuade her to feed me.  Lots of meow, meow and then follow her around like a puppy dog until she gives in.  My little secret weapon. LOL 
 With a belly full of yummy cat food it's sooo much easier to yawn and stretch and become one with the warm earth.  I think I'll take a nap and then off to a new adventure.  See ya soon....

Skimpy

Hello I'm Skimpy the cat.  Welcome to my world!
 My moms says I'm a special kind of cat, but I'm just Skimpy. I like to hang out with my family and friends.  In my first photo I'm hanging out under a car, this is one of my favorite places since it's cooler and harder to find me. LOL.
 Everyone says I'm different than other cats, but I have no idea what they are talking about.  So from the begining of my life I'll give you a quick update.  I was born in the attic and one day was found as a little chap on the front porch.  Someone picked me up and put me inside the house where I lived for a long time.   There was something different about me from the beginning.  My front legs are bent into an angle that I walk on my elbows.  I can't straighten them out, my back has humps in it and my tail has several kinks.  Take a good close look at my photo's.  Mom says she will add more as she keeps posting, so keep checking back to see what kind of things I can do.  Anyway, I get around just fine and the vet says I'm purrrrfect just the way I am.  Really!!!  No worries for me.

This is they I like to stand, but here I'm actually begging for a snack.
