Spookie
Spookie
was the ray of sunshine in my life. He was an all black short hair
male domestic cat with so much personality. I got him from a Vet
when he was 3 months old. I was a hands on Mom so I could do and
touch Spooks just about anywhere. He was always waiting for me in
the window when I came home. He would immediately scamper to the
door to greet me. In the mornings when I got ready to leave he would
sit on the bathroom counter watching my every move. Spookie liked
fresh running water and I would leave the faucet running ever so
lightly for him. He would position his behind on the counter ledge
and lower it until it touched and he was comfortable. Then he would
take his paws one at a time and push the water back 3 times on the
right and switch to the left paw. He would then place the top of
his head so that the water ran between his ear and the side of his
face lapping up that fresh water until he had his fill. He was quite
a site to behold. |

Spookie was quite the kneader and like to get his licks in. If he
got anywhere near the right side of my neck the purring began and he
was kneading away and making biscuits. In the middle of the night
should he have the urge to want a little affection he would swat me
on the back with his paw. If that did not work he would come around
to the front and take his nose place it under my chin and raise it.
He also thought that he was part dog, when anyone new came to the
house he had to jump on a table or a chair to smell them and their
breath and get to know them. He love diving under pieces of tissue
or newspaper with much success. I have a drawer in the bathroom that
was his. He did not have a handle on it so it with open it with his
teeth pull it out and crawl under it when it wanted some privacy. Of
course I will leave all of his teeth marks on that drawer. Spookie
was only 7 years old when he was taken away, may he rest in peace.
He is so missed and so loved. I have so many wonderful, crazy &
funny memories that make me LOL. He definitely was one cat in a
million. I know that he has made a wonderful contribution to Heaven
and it will never be the same. Take care of my Mom & mother-in-law
Spooks.
Until we meet,
Mom Louise
