Spitfire in 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

No blog is complete without some cats!<\/strong>\u00a0 6 cats currently with with my wife and I. \u00a0Spitfire here is the eldest.<\/p>\n

He was born on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in 2005, about a month after Hurricane Katrina. \u00a0The hurricane turned an already bad place to be a mixed-breed animal into a total nightmare for the animals down there, and the shelters were overwhelmed. \u00a0A friend of a friend was doing animal rescue work, and one day that December we got an email saying that a van would be driving north and now was the time to adopt. \u00a0We had two other cats at the time, and decided to take two kittens. \u00a0He had a 3-day drive north in a crate van with around 60 other animals, about 2\/3 of them cats and the rest dogs.<\/p>\n

Spitfire as a kitten, hamming it up for the camera!<\/p><\/div>\n

He is exhibit A on how terrible I used to be at naming animals. \u00a0During his first couple of weeks with us he was super-feisty and wouldn’t hold still, hence his name. \u00a0Then he got a bit older and calmed way down. \u00a0Spitfire is a sweet, good-natured boy who wants nothing more than to curl up on a lap or somewhere else warm.<\/p>\n

Spitfire is the only male cat (fixed, of course) in our tribe. \u00a0He tends to stand aloof from the jockeying for position and rank that the other five constantly exhibit.<\/p>\n
