She's a Ragdoll. If you go on the internet looking for Ragdolls, they go anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. For a FREAKING CAT!!!!
This one found us. She was wandering the neighborhood for a couple weeks. She was all mangy and a total mess, skinny beyond belief. Obviously was lost or abandoned. That's when my wife started feeding her and bugging the hell out of me to keep her. I knew then the thing was ours but didn't say anything. I really did not want another cat. Had two as it was and they drove me nuts. Tried finding the owners with no luck. She was only a couple years old if that. My mom had a Ragdoll cat (actually two at different times) that I talked my aunt into taking after my Mom died. My mom had just died little more than a half year before I saw this cat wandering around. She'd come around every day standing in the street looking at me sitting on the porch. I know this sounds strange, but I felt like my mom sent me this cat because she looked exactly the same as her cat. I really, really didn't want her but I caved in pretty quick because of my mom.
There were two boys who lived next door. They were 13 and 10 (or about). Their father beat his mother regularly and these boys suffered immeasurably. The older one especially. He was highly introverted and tremendously sad and confused. He had a cat that was his and that cat was his best friend. I swear he lived for that cat. He took Keighley (our mangy stray cat) and spent two days pulling the burrs and knots out of her and made her look like new. I was shocked he could do that. I think he knew I did not want to keep her so he made her look pretty so I would like her and he could have another cat to visit.
So you can see, I didn't really have much of a choice but to keep her. 13 years later I can definitively say she is the biggest pest I have ever known but she also has more personality and affection than any animal I have ever had.
I'm sorry. Didn't mean to.![]()

Memories are a witch with a capital B.
I hope you gave that boy some fond memories. And I bet you made an impression (a good one) on him. Sometimes all it takes is one person to show what being a normal human being is all about. It gives a child something to strive for. It sounds like he was a thinker and gives me hope that he turned out ok.
And don't look at the ugly tape on the wall, this was before we did the hallway paint

She adopted us. We were playing in the snow just before Christmas and she ran up and jumped in Aria's arms haha. Was a scrawny thing and no one claimed her. Did not want another one but they were in love.lol.. I didn't even notice the tape, had to go back and look. Cute cat!
