Caitie

Caitie was the third cat to be adopted into the Good Cats family.  The Mom and Dad found her in 1997 at a Good Mews adoption clinic held at a nearby Petco.  They were thinking that three cats was a good number to have and were looking for an adult cat to fit in with Kelly and Lizzie.  They found a thin one-year-old calico with green eyes in a cage labelled Tinkerbelle.  The Mom and Dad had already decided to name the new cat Caitlin, but loved the Belle part of her first name, so she became Caitie-Belle.  Caitie is the hunter of the group.  When she is inside, she chitters at the birds at the bird-feeder.  When she is outside, she goes hunting.  She has caught more critters than the other three combined.  She brought a live mouse to the Mom once, but when she put it down, the Mom made sure that it got away.  There are at least one mouse, rat, chipmunk and rabbit who weren't so lucky. Caitie also guards the yard from the neighbor cat.  If Tigs comes over for a visit and Caitie is outside, she chases Tigs all the way home.  Caitie also keeps an eye on the dog next door, who stays inside his invisible fence for the most part. Caitie also enjoys the wild catnip growing in the yard.

                                               Caitie is a hunter and a mighty one is she.
                                               She has caught more critters than the other three.
                                                       A mouse or a rabbit,
                                                       She leaps to grab it,
                                               Then brings it back for her folks to see.
