Josie

Here is Josie just after she caught the feather-on-a-string toy.  Josie loves playing with this toy, but she tries to run off with the feathers after she has caught them.  Jasper says she looks like a fish on a line.  Josie was one of the kittens from momma cat's first litter.  The Mom wanted to adopt her right away, because she reminded the Mom of a cat who came before.  When the Mom and Dad finally caught all the kittens, Josie was adopted right away, on November 3, 2004.  Once her flea problem was taken care of, she was given the run of the house and became very snuggly with the people right away.  Jasper took a little convincing that having a little sister was a good thing, but now he loves her dearly.  Jasper may be the Alpha cat, but Josie has taken it upon herself to be the house defender.  Whenever a woofie or a strange cat comes into the yard, Josie paces from window to window, looking out and hissing.

                                            Josie is the cat who protects the home.
                                            From window to window she will roam,
                                                       Checking to be sure
                                                       That no immature,
                                            Noisy, barking woofie is near her home.
