Seal

Seal was the second kittie to join my family.  When I was in thrid grade my friend Cara’s cat had two kittens.  Seal was so funny, she was this little gray thing and lo and behold, she wouldn’t walk right!  She would drag her back legs around like she was a seal (thus the name).  The Dr’s said nothing was wrong with her, and she eventually grew out of it…but it was pretty silly.

Seal was for sure a one of a kind.  When she was a kitten she was tiny…but boy did she grow, and I mean grow big and fat.  She got tons of excercise…she was just very rotund!  I would have LOVED to squeeze her belly but for most of her life she really didn’t like to be pet, she got along fine with the other cats and dog but just wasn’t so into humans.  We respected her space, and she enjoyed it.  She lived a wonderfully happy life.  When she got a little older she finally came around, she decided that maybe we were not so bad after all.  She let us pet her and in the end, she even became a lap cat. 

Seal passed on when she was around 10 years old.  She was a good cat, spunky and hearty…she will be in my memory forever.  Love you Seal!!
