Frankie Weiss and Her Magic

 I went back to bed, reviewing her action to get fed, silently, I had to laugh to myself; she’s one smart cat! I wrote earlier that it would be impossible to keep Frankie ’s “Magic” revision in chronological order due to the fact I never dated any of the stories I wanted to include in its telling. A prime example is the above; I just had to include this incident showing her state of mind, even after six years of sharing our lives together.

Watching Television

            This morning before getting out of bed I was watching the Animal Planet on television. Doing this most mornings, and being a cat lover, naturally I take great interest in most programs showing cats. As luck would have it, two ladies running a Gift Shoppe, also used their store as an adoption center for felines. Performing a most humane service, it was a pleasure to see these kind ladies find homes for the many young cats ready to be adopted. Today, however, they featured a pregnant year-old Calico.

            This Calico was tri-colored the same as my beautiful Frankie . The mother had to be a Tortoiseshell; the father donated the white gene. Much of her markings resembled Frankie , excepting for her face, it was not as pretty as Frankie ’s and her legs were all white. The left face side was almost all black.
