Boo
was part of a litter that came from a cat I took in. The mom was a beautiful
jet black, slender cat that I thought for sure had to be an Oriental Shorthair.
But, who she got involved with I can only imagine because the litter was
filled with BIG cats. Boo was the only female in that litter, so I had
to keep her. She was the sweetest, silliest cat I had. 
We called Boo the rug monkey because
she was always performing acrobatics, but instead of in the air, they
were on the floor. She would scoot herself around on her back and sides
by pushing off with her back feet and rolling around. It was so funny to watch.
All the while, she was busy narrating all her tricks to you. Boo had
always been a talker, being sure to let you know what’s going
on…although she had the look about her
that she didn’t have a clue either.
One
of Boo’s quirks was that she would sing with her mom. If I got going
and start belting out a tune, she’d come running and sing right
along. Okay, so it sounded more like racket, but we still had fun! Her
other quirks were not so fun, but part of who she was. When she was young
and I was at work, some people I knew decided to ‘bowl’ with
her and after two days at the ER vet’s, we didn’t know what
the outcome would be. She had swelling in the brain and nearly died. Over
time, it caught up with her and she started behavioral barbering, but
there are no other apparent long-term issues for a long, long time. Boo
was a great cat with a silly personality and we love her very
much!
