Callypso (Callie Boy for short) was the third cat to join my family.  When I was a junior in High School, it seemed like all my friends were getting kittens, so naturally, I wanted one too!  Along came Callie.  Callie was the most gentle soul on the planet.  The most layed back guy ever.  I took him with me in the care to my then boyfriends house to play with his cats, I’d carry him upside down, he was just a big (really big) mush!! 

When I moved to Phoenix, my mom wanted me to get settled before the cats came, so I reluctantly went without him and my other baby, Lucky (her story to be posted soon).  When I got to Phoenix I was so lonely…my first time away from home, from my animals, I needed a friend.  So, I ended up getting another love, Casey (her story to be posted soon too!).  When my mom was to come visit next she was to bring Callie and Lucky with her.  But, my mom had a secret love she had been hiding for Callie.  She really wanted him too!!  She had just lost Doodle, and thought it only fair that I have two and she have two.  I agreed, though I was going to miss him!  So Callie stayed with my mom.  By the time I moved back to Durango, he was so content there, I couldn’t bare to take him away. 

Callie passed on a couple of years ago.  He had a good life and was a great cat.   I miss him terribly but know I will see him one day over the Rainbow Bridge.  Love you Calypso!!
