pywackett lived to be 21 1/2 years old. that makes him approx. 110 years old in human years.
(can you imagine?)
THE HISTORY OF PYEWACKETT~
in the summer of 1991 i decided that i wanted a pet... not just any pet.. i wanted a cat. specifically a black cat. i didn't know where to find one so i mentioned to a friend of mine who worked @
THE EYE OF THE CAT, in long beach. i said to him, " i want a black cat."
"oh! he replied, i know someone in la verne that just had a litter of 13 black cats."
the following day i called the person in la verne and made an appointment.
on august 31st, 1991 i took my then BF- bobby ferris- to check out this litter of 13 black cats.
la verne is far. all the way towards pomona. seemed like forever. we anxiously knocked on the door. a tall, older gentleman opened the door and greeted us. there in the center of the living room was a scrawny black cat with 13 sucklings nursing her wore out nipples. she looked exhausted.
the black mom cat was skittish, (most black cats are) and scurried away when we entered, leaving her 13 black kittens rolling around on the carpet.
i walked over to the group of black puffs and sat down. i looked at all 13 kittens with intent.
one black kitten looked up and walked towards me. i placed my hand on the carpet and he walked onto my palm. he was so small, he easily fit on my palm. i slowly picked him up and brought him to eye level. we looked into each others eyes and scried.... for a long time. i lowered my palm to the floor and he very slowly walked back to his black brothers & sisters, turning back now and again to gaze at me. even when he joined the 12 other black kittens i knew which one he was.
"I WANT THAT ONE" i announced.
pyewackett has been with me since then~ every hour of every day until now.
Rest in peace, Pyewackett. So sorry for your loss, Rick.
