’s Many Cats
Cats have always came into my life by chance. Usually, they wandered into our yard and we took them in.
We currently have a 21-year-old black cat, named Rosebud, she was dropped off by a friend who was on her way to the Animal Shelter with Rose and her litter mate, who we named Thorn.
In 2020, during lockdown, a friend sent me a photo of her cat’s litter of silver tortoise shell kittens. I didn’t need any more pets.
At that point, we had our son’s two male cats (Erle and Bunsen) who lived with us while he and his wife were deployed overseas with their dogs.
They were scheduled to return in the Spring. I was actually looking forward being almost cat-less.
Nevertheless, I asked my friend to set aside two female kittens for me.
Our old girl, Rosebud, tolerated the boy cats but she despised the new kittens. Eventually, she warmed up to them and now lets them snuggle with her.
Our kid’s homecoming was delayed until summer (because of Covid), so we had a houseful for a few weeks.
The old cats ignored the rampaging kittens (who were convinced that my loom was their play ground). They quickly made it clear silver torties have as much tort-itude as black and brown tortoiseshell cats.
They are a source of constant entertainment, still playful and very sweet.
So many cats! I’m sure they all love being with June in her home. 😊
Have you ever looked after a friend or loved one’s pet while they were away?

Aw sweet kitties!!
Fascinating. I’ve never heard the term silver tortie. I had 2 of the brown, tan, creamy torties but, yes, I absolutely see that now. Thank you! 😊
