Absolutely beautiful!
Can I share a "kitty" story? Quite a few years back now, I published a hobby magazine for PM collectors, and one summer, I went visiting PM clubs around the country. I spoke at a club in Lansing, Michigan, and a young couple with their son were there, sitting right in the front row, very intent on my talk. Afterwards, they introduced themselves, and the rest, as they say, is history - they have been friends for a long, long time. Lorraine and Larry worked for Lorraine's mom and stepdad in a floral shop/Precious Moments shop in Chesaning, MI. I went there to visit many times, and at the flower shop and greenhouses, they had an orange tabby cat - best mouser on earth - there was a huge field behind all the greenhouses, so the cat kept happy, even though they fed it. The cat's name was "Tripod!" Why? Because that orange tabby had gotten hit by a car, and lost its back leg. Poor kitty had a different name at one time, but nobody remembered it, because that stinker with his 3-legs could outrun any cat and catch any mouse in the area! Funny thing was that he was spoiled rotten, but really took a shine to me. Last time I saw him there, he was getting pretty old, but still had a lot of personality and bounce, and they hadn't seen him at the shop in a couple of weeks, but sure as can be, the minute I showed up, within half an hour or so, Tripod came back to visit me. He disappeared, never to be seen again, after that last trip I made over there!
RIP, Tripod! Will post a pic one of these days if I can find one!

| Hi, I also love your kitty story. My orange tabby, Tigger was a stray who appeared when he was a tiny little guy at my back door. Lori

Give your Tigger a big hug for me - I sure do miss that crazy Tripod! Some more funny stories about him - Lorraine and Larry had a huge front room in their shop, and they would take Precious Moments figurines and display them, and depict them larger with PM dolls that they would dress up. Tripod just loved that display - it was at floor level. But his favorite was in the wintertime, because if you are familiar with the "Sugar Town" series of Precious Moments - houses and people in various scenes, they would redecorate the entire room - 1/2 of it in Sugar Town, complete with oodles of fluffy cotton stuff for the snow, and 1/2 in the PM Nativity. Tripod loved to get underneath the layers of cotton and crawl along and sneak up on people - he was very successful at it! And too bad that they missed the picture, but one morning when they came to the store and checked the front room, Tripod was sound asleep, cuddled up next to the Baby Jesus in the manger!
I learned something interesting about tabbies, too - they drool! I had cats all the time on the farm, and had tabbies, but never an orange one, and this guy drooled like crazy! A friend here at home was adopted by a stray tan tabby cat - also male - and that one did the same thing!
