Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Esther!
Name: Esther (nicknames: Bob, Poppy, Swee’pea)
Age: 6.5
Breed: Tabby, aspiring Bengal
Hobbies: Loves yarn, lasers, and (like her owner) combining short bursts of manic activity with long stretches curled up near a heat source.
Worst/Best moment: Twitches her tail at pigeons out the window with the grace of a pharaoh; launches herself at the window (closed) with the grace of a Looney Tunes character.
'Tabby, aspiring Bengal' was the 1st time I laughed today, thank you! She's gorgeous. Years ago, I had a tabby with aspirations just like Esther's. Before we even named him after bringing home that 3 month-old skinny kitten, he zoomed up a tall chair and hit a clear window with so much force that he broke a hind leg. Though we had 3 adult cats with zero broken bones between them, nothing like taking a kitten you've had less than 24 hrs to an emergency vet clinic on a Saturday. We had no records there & I felt we were judged as evil kitten abusing monsters. After gnawing off 2 casts in 6 hrs, he spent the next 3 weeks in a dog kennel, healing. We named him Taz after the Tasmanian Devil. He was a lovely, crazy tabby.
BEAUTIFUL GIRL. !!!!
